by Otto Inkermann (1823 - 1862), as C. O. Sternau

Ja, müsste die Lieb' nicht scheiden
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ja, müsste die Lieb' nicht scheiden,
dann wär' die Welt so reich,
und müsste die Lieb' nicht meiden,
dann wär' sie nicht so bleich.
Scheiden - o geh',
Meiden - ade,
Trennung der Liebe tut weh'!

Ja, müsste das Auge nicht weinen
um den verlor'nen Traum,
ja, fielen in Wäldern und Hainen
die Blätter nicht von dem Baum!
Scheiden - o geh',
Meiden - ade,
Tränen im Auge tun weh'!

Ja, müsste mein Mund nicht sprechen:
„Leb wohl, mein Heimatland!“,
ja, müsste das Herz nicht brechen,
wenn seine Liebe schwand!
Scheiden - o geh',
Meiden - ade,
Brechende Herzen tun weh'!
