by Carl Anton Richter (1797 - 1827), as Ludwig Stahlpanzer

Wenn's liebe Kind den Kuß verbeut
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wenn's liebe Kind den Kuß verbeut,
Dann [müssen g'nügen]1!
Auch halbe geben Seligkeit,
Und machen ihr Vergnügen.

Am Rahmen sitzt das holde Kind,
Du lehnst dich hinten über,
Und bückst dich tief, als wärst du blind,
Je näher, desto lieber!

Dein Athem kos't den weichen Hals
Die Lippen auch ein bisschen,
Das wird geduldet allenfalls
Und ist ein halbes Küßchen!
