I know a maiden fair to see, <br />Take care! <br />She can both false and friendly be, <br />Beware! Beware! <br />Trust her not, <br />She is fooling thee! <br /> <br />She has two eyes, so soft and brown, <br />Take care! <br />She gives a side-glance and looks down, <br />Beware! Beware! <br />Trust her not, <br />She is fooling thee! <br /> <br />And she has hair of a golden hue, <br />Take care! <br />And what she says, it is not true, <br />Beware! Beware! <br />Trust her not, <br />She is fooling thee! <br /> <br />She has a bosom as white as snow, <br />Take care! <br />She knows how much it is best to show, <br />Beware! Beware! <br />Trust her not, <br />She is fooling thee! <br /> <br />She gives thee a garland woven fair, <br />Take care! <br />It is a fool's-cap for thee to wear, <br />Beware! Beware! <br />Trust her not, <br />She is fooling thee!<br /><br />Henry Wadsworth Longfellow<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/beware-from-the-german/
