Ich will mich tief verneigen Vor dir und ziehen den Hut, Ich will dir Lieder geigen Rot wie Rosen und rot wie Blut. Ich will mich vor dir bücken, Wie man vor Fürstinnen tut, Und will dich mit Rosen schmücken, Mit Rosen rot wie Blut. Ich will auch zu dir beten, Wie man vor Heiligen kniet, Mit meiner wilden, verschmähten Liebe und meinem Lied.
