And in your dream imagine nothing for yourself
Victor von Woikowsky-Biedau
And in your dream imagine nothing for yourself
for you are too young for me.
About your chin hardly any down yet sprouts:
it is not enough for me.
If I get married,
I must marry a rider on a horse,
twice as tall and broad as you,
his beard two ells long.
His black steed bolts with the wind's course,
his beard, it blankets me
as I sit before him on the knob of the saddle,
and off to the kitchens for you!
