by Adolf Böttger (1815 - 1870)

Frage
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Sprich, in [welchem Hause doch]1
Wohnst Du, liebes Mädchen? 
Dort, wo grün die Rebe sich 
Schlingt um's nied're Läd'chen?  --  

Ach!  was soll's, daß Du mir sag'st: 
Hoch von Felsenblöcken 
Schau' dein Fenster blank herab 
Zwischen Rosenstöcken. 

Schau zum Fenster selbst heraus, 
Und mit glüh'nden Sinnen 
Find' ich Haus und Thor und Strauß 
Und die Rose drinnen.
