from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Es warb ein schöner Jüngling
NOTE: the footnotes have been removed from this text; return to general view
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Es warb ein schöner Jüngling 
Über ein breiten See, 
Um eines Königs Tochter, 
Nach Leid geschah ihm Weh. 

Ach Elselein, lieber Buhle,
Wie gern wär ich bei dir;
So fließen zwei tiefe Wasser
Wohl zwischen mir und dir.
