Maiden with the red little mouth
Korstiaan Stougie
Maiden with the red little mouth,
with eyes sweet and clear:
You are my dear little maiden -
I think of you all the time.
The winter evening drags tonight,
and I would be with you,
to sit by you and chat
in a cosy little room.
I would like to press to my lips
your small white hand,
and moisten it with my tears,
your small white hand.
