by Josef Karl Benedikt von Eichendorff (1788 - 1857)
Ist auch schmuck nicht mein Rößlein
Language: German (Deutsch)
Ist [auch]1 schmuck nicht mein Rößlein, So ist's doch [recht]1 klug, Trägt im Finstern zu 'nem Schlößlein Mich rasch noch genug. Ist das Schloß auch nicht prächtig: [Zum Garten aus]2 der Tür Tritt ein Mädchen doch allnächtig Dort freundlich herfür. Und ist auch die Kleine Nicht die Schönst' auf der Welt, So giebt's doch just Keine, Die mir beßer gefällt. Und spricht sie vom Freien, So schwing' ich mich auf mein Roß -- Ich bleibe im Freien, Und sie auf dem Schloß.
