My mother doesn't like me
Gustav Eggers
My mother doesn't like me,
And no sweetheart do I have,
Oh why don't I die?
What am I doing here?
Yesterday there was a church fair,
But of course no one saw me,
For I am so unhappy
that I do not dance at all.
Let them be, those three roses
that bloom near the little cross:
Were you acquainted with the little maiden
who lies under it?
