by Christian Felix Weisse (1726 - 1804)

Schwestern, wagt euch in den Hain
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Schwestern, wagt euch in den Hain
Ja nicht allzu tief hinein;
Denn, so wahr ich ehrlich bin,
Es geht um und spukt darin.

Jüngstens ging ich ganz allein
In der Dämmerung hinein:
Gleich war ein Gespenst auch da,
Das Damöten ähnlich sah.

O wie schlug das Herze mir! 
Glaubt ihr, Schreyen half dafür? 
Denkt, wie dicht ist nicht der Hain! 
Todt hätt' ich mich müssen schreyn.
