by Carl Siebel (1836 - 1868)

Du thatest so spröde und sah'st zur Erd'
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Du thatest so spröde und sah'st zur Erd'
Und blicktest durch's Fenster in's Grün hinein:
O glaub' mir! dein Herze ist schlecht bewehrt,
Hüte dich! hüte dich! Jungfräulein.

Ja -- wenn ich nicht wüßte, wie leis' und sacht
Sich schleicht ein Geheimniß in's Herz hinein: -
So leise und sacht, wie nie du gedacht:
Hüte dich! hüte dich! Jungfräulein!

Er blickte in's Auge dir so tief -- so tief -
Und tiefer, noch tiefer in's Herz hinein -
Er schaute, was d'rinnen verborgen schlief:
Hüte dich! hüte dich! Jungfräulein!
