by Anna (Nuhn) Ritter (1865 - 1921)

Ist ein Hüttlein gebauet
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Ist ein Hüttlein gebauet
Über'm Thal auf der Höh',
Schaut herab auf die Felder
Und den flimmernden See.

Viel verwitterte Namen 
Sind geritzt in die Wand
Und darunter auch Einer,
Den mein Herz gut gekannt.

Ach, wo ist er geblieben,
Dessen Hand ihn einst schrieb?
War ein fröhlicher Bursche
Und ich hatte ihn lieb.
