by Rudolph Baumbach (1840 - 1905)

Die Wahrsagerin
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Komm, zeig' mir deine Hand Gesell,
Lass mich die Linien schau'n.
Ich sage wahr, ich sehe hell,
Drum sollst du mir vertrau'n.

Wer klug sich in das Leben schickt,
Kommt leidlich durch die Welt,
Und ist dein Beutel wohl gespickt,
So fehlt dir's nicht an Geld.

Vertraue falschen Freunden nicht,
Sei wohl auf deiner Hut.
Wer etwas Schlechtes von dir spricht,
Der meint's mit dir nicht gut.
