I ONCE into a forest far br br My maiden went to seek, br And fell upon her neck, when: "Ah!" br br She threaten'd, "I will shriek!" br br Then cried I haughtily: "I'll crush br br The man that dares come near thee!" br "Hush!" whisper'd she: "My loved one, hush! br br Or else they'll overhear thee!"br br Johann Wolfgang von Goethebr br
