Im Walde, da flüstern Die Bäume so bang, Und der Wind streicht so scheu An den Hängen entlang, Und die Sonne am Himmel, Die leuchtet so roth -- O weh meiner Seele Mein Liebster ist todt.
Confirmed with Anna Ritter, Gedichte, Neunte Auflage, Stuttgart und Berlin: J.G. Cotta'sche Buchhandlung Nachfolger, 1900, page 211.
