by August von Platen-Hallermünde (1796 - 1835)
Wiewohl mein Schatz ein arger Wicht
Language: German (Deutsch)
Wiewohl mein Schatz ein arger Wicht, Ein Räuber ist, ein Dieb, So hab' ich doch sein Angesicht Vor allen andern lieb, Er raubt für mich, er kämpft, er ficht, Drum hab' ich ihn so lieb, Und wär' er zehenmal ein Wicht Und hundertmal ein Dieb.
