Das Herz
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Das Herz ist doch ganz seltsam,
Auf Erden nichts ihm gleicht.
Wenn Viele drinnen wohnen,
Dann ist und bleibt es leicht!
 
Doch hatt's für einen Einz'gen
Nur Raum -- und wird es leer,
Dann ist das arme Herze
Auf einmal centnerschwer!

Confirmed with J. Burg, “Das Herz”, in: Fliegende Blätter , Band XCII, Nro. 2332, 1890, page 128
