from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Könnst du meine Äuglein sehen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Könnst du meine Äuglein sehen,
Wie sie sind vom Weinen roth,
Ich soll in das Kloster gehen,
Und allein seyn bis in Tod.

Es sitzen auch zwey Turteltäublein
Drüben auf dem grünen Ast,
Wenn die von einander scheiden,
So vergehen Laub und Gras.
