Was weinst du, Kind
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Was weinst du, Kind, was klagt der Tau,
der deine schönen Augen netzt?
Hat dich ein Wort, hat dich ein Blick
dess', der so sehr dich liebt, verletzt?

Du sagst mir's nicht, du schweigest still
und sinkst mir schluchzend an die Brust?
O klamm're dich recht fest an mich,
sei dir der Stütze ganz bewusst!

Ich frag' nicht mehr, warum du weinst;
ich weiß, du weinest nicht um mich.
Wie könnte Lieb' verletzen auch,
wenn man so innig liebt wie ich?

O wein' dich aus, der Tränen Strom
nehm' dir vom Herzen jede Last;
 o wein' dich aus, dass du für mich
nur noch dein himmlisch Lächeln hast!
