by Theodor Storm (1817 - 1888)

Rechenstunde
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Du bist so ein kleines Mädchen
Und hast schon so helle Augen;
Du bist so ein kleines Mädchen
Und hast schon so rote Lippen!

Nun schau mich nur an, du Kleine,
Auch ich hab helle Augen,
Und laß dir alles deuten -
Auch ich hab rote Lippen.
 
Nun rechne mir doch zusammen:
Vier Augen, die geben? - Blicke!
Und - mach mir keinen Fehler! -
Vier Lippen, die geben? - Küsse!
