by Emilie Emma von Hallberg (1826 - 1862)

O könnt' ich mit dir wallen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
O könnt' ich mit dir wallen,
Du bleicher Mondenschein,
Ich schlich mich ganz verstohlen
In Liebchens Kämmerlein.

Und haucht' auf Mund und Stirne
Ihm wol der Küsse viel,
Und trieb in seinen Locken
Ein wunderliches Spiel.

Und Liebchen würde träumen
Gar wunderliches Zeug,
Von Kuß und Händedrücken
Wie Mondenschein so weich.
