Bist du wirklich mir so feindlich

Bist du [wirklich]1 mir so feindlich,
Bist du wirklich ganz verwandelt?
Aller Welt will ich es klagen,
Daß du mich so schlecht behandelt.

O ihr undankbaren Lippen,
Sagt, wie könnt ihr Böses sagen
Von dem Manne, der so liebend
Euch geküßt, in schönen Tagen.

by Heinrich Heine (1797-1856) , no title, from Buch der Lieder, in Die Heimkehr, no. 76
