by Johann Nepomuk Vogl (1802 - 1866)

Sie hielten mich an am Thore
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Sie hielten mich an am Thore,
Sie fragten nach Paß und Schein,
Sie suchten, ob nicht was Fremdes
Ich schwärzte in's Land herein.

Sie mochten auch wohl was ahnen,
Ich sah's an ihrem Gesicht,
Ach, meine Contrebande,
Die findet ihr ewig nicht.

Ich trag sie gar wohl verborgen,
Sie könnt' es nicht besser seyn,
Es ist ja in meinem Herzen,
Die bitt're Liebespein!
