Mannesbangen

Du darfst nicht meinen,
Ich hätte Furcht vor dir.
Nur wenn du mit deinen
Scheuen Augen Glück begehrst
Und mir mit solchen
Zuckenden Händen
Wie mit Dolchen
Durch die Haare fährst,
Und mein Kopf liegt an deinen Lenden:
Dann, du Sünd'rin,
Beb' ich vor dir...

by Richard Fedor Leopold Dehmel (1863-1920) , from Weib und Welt, published 1896
