by Edmund von Zoller (1822 - 1902)

Kein Maler könnte malen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Kein Maler könnte malen
mein Liebchens schönes Herz;
kein Wörtchen könnte malen
meines Herzens tiefen Schmerz.

Kein Maler mit feinstem Pinsel,
und wär' er noch so gut,
könnt' malen ihrer Augen
und ihrer Wangen Glut.

Kein Maler mit feinster Farbe
könnt' malen Liebchen Küss',
und malt' er sie noch so lieblich,
er malte sie nicht so süß.
