Ständchen

Schläfst du, oder wachst du,
Herzlieb, Herzlieb, Herzlieb?
Es schleicht zu deinem Fenster
Ein Dieb, ein Dieb, ein Dieb.

Er möchte Küsse stehlen,
O gib, o gib, o gib,
Es hat fühwahr dich Keiner,
So lieb, so lieb, so lieb.

Halt fest mit weichen Armen,
Herzlieb, Herzlieb, Herzlieb,
Halt gefangen und umfangen
Den Dieb, den Dieb, den Dieb!

by (Karl) Theodor Körner (1791-1813)

Serenade

Tell me if thou sleepest,
My love, my love, heart's-gold?
A thief stands 'neath thy window,
So bold, so bold, so bold.

He fain would steal a kiss, love,
Oh give, oh give, oh give, 
And ever by thy smile, love,
He'll live, he'll live, he'll live.

Thy soft white arms around him,
Enfold, oh love, enfold,
And that thief, love, keep forever,
So bold, so bold, so bold!
