Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - Lover In All Shapes
Work rating: Low

To be like a fish,
Brisk and quick, is my wish;
If thou cam`st with thy line.
Thou wouldst soon make me thine.
To be like a fish,
Brisk and quick, is my wish.

Oh, were I a steed!
Thou wouldst love me indeed.
Oh, were I a car
Fit to bear thee afar!
Oh, were I a steed!
Thou wouldst love me indeed.

I would I were gold
That thy fingers might hold!
If thou boughtest aught then,
I`d return soon again.
I would I were gold
That thy fingers might hold!

I would I were true,
And my sweetheart still new!
To be faithful I`d swear,
And would go away ne`er.
I would I were true,
And my sweetheart still new!

I would I were old,
And wrinkled and cold,
So that if thou said`st No,
I could stand such a blow!
I would I were old,
And wrinkled and cold.

An ape I would be,
Full of mischievous glee;
If aught came to vex thee,
I`d plague and perplex thee.
An ape I would be,
Full of mischievous glee

As a lamb I`d behave,
As a lion be brave,
As a lynx clearly see,
As a fox cunning be.
As a lamb I`d behave,
As a lion be brave.

Whatever I were,
All on thee I`d confer;
With the gifts of a prince
My affection evince.
Whatever I were,
All on thee I`d confer.

As nought diff`rent can make me,
As I am thou must take me!
If I`m not good enough,
Thou must cut thine own stuff.
As nought diff`rent can make me,
As I am thou must take me!
