Das Herz
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Chosen for Diff
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
