from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Mei Schätzerl, das hat mi verlassen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Mei Schätzerl, das hat mi verlassen,
Wie is mir mei Herz ach so schwer.
Den Jammer i kann ihn nicht fassen,
S'ist Alles so öd und so leer.
Wird er wohl noch meiner gedenken,
Einen freundlichen Blick mir noch schenken?

Nun bin ich so traurig alleine
Und denke mir immer mein Leid.
Mei Schätzel liebt' ich, sonst Keinen,
Und jetzt hab' ich nichts was mich freut.
Sonst schaut' ich am Fenster so gerne
Jetzt seh' ich mit Wehmut in die Ferne.

About the headline (FAQ)

Note: this text appears in the White score as if it is a translation of this Burns poem (or vice versa), but although they are both set to the same music, they are unrelated textually.
