by Erich Kurt Mühsam (1878 - 1934)

Rendezvous
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Ich bin verdammt zu warten
in einem Bürgergarten
auf das geliebte Weib.
Nun sitz ich hier als Beute
gewissenloser Leute
mit breitem Unterleib.
Sie sind so froh beim Biere,
bald zwei, bald drei, bald viere -
und reden vom Geschäft.
Die Gattin spricht vom Hause,
die Töchter trinken Brause,
und Flock, das Hündchen, kläfft.
Die Kellnerinnen schwirren.
Die Tischgeschirre klirren.
Der Himmel scheint so blau.
Wie süß ist's doch, zu warten
in einem Bürgergarten
auf die geliebte Frau.
