We were two pretty babes, the youngest she - ZaunköniG - 16.04.2007
We were two pretty babes, the youngest she,
The youngest and the loveliest far, I ween,
And Innocence her name: the time has been,
We two did love each other's company -
Time was, we two had wept to have been apart!
But when with show of seeming good beguiled
I left the garb and manners of a child,
And my first love for man's society,
Defiling with the world my virgin heart,
My loved companion dropped a tear and fled,
And hid in deepest shades her awful head!
Beloved! who can tell me where thou art,
In what delicious Eden to be found,
That I may seek thee the wide world around!
