by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832)

Es ist so schwül, so dumpfig hie
Language: German (Deutsch) 
MARGARETE 
(mit einer Lampe)
 Es ist so schwül, so dumpfig hie,
 (Sie macht das Fenster auf.)
 Und ist doch eben so warm nicht drauß'.
 Es wird mir so, ich weiß nicht wie --
 Ich wollt', die Mutter käm' nach Haus.
 Mir läuft ein Schauer übern ganzen Leib --
 Bin doch ein töricht furchtsam Weib!

 (Sie fängt an zu singen, indem sie sich auszieht.)
