by August von Kotzebue (1761 - 1819)

Drey hundert Jahre sind verronnen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Drey hundert Jahre sind verronnen,
Erlösung ist noch nicht gewonnen!
Die Eule schreyt, der Uhu krächzt,
Die arme Seele weint und ächzt!
  Wenn wird ein Mägdlein sie erlösen,
  Die mit dem Buhler einsam geht,
  Und der Gelegenheit zum Bösen,
  Trotz ihrem Herzen, widersteht?
Es wird im Osten noch nicht heller,
Es blüht und welkt der Roßmarin,
Und immer sitzt vor ihrem Keller
Die arme, alte Schließerinn.
