Drei Lieder für Männerchor , opus 152

by Erik Meyer-Helmund (1861 - 1932)

1. Fröhliche Armuth  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
So einer hat kein Zweigespann,
Der geh' zu Fusse stolz,
Und wer aus Gold nicht trinken kann,
Der trink' aus Thon und Holz. 

Ein Ritter bin ich freilich nicht,
Hab' weder Hof noch Geld;
Mein Erbgut ist das Himmelslicht,
Dazu die weite Welt. 

Und wäre Gold und Silber mein,
Karfunkel und Topas,
So trügst du nicht am Fingerlein
Den Ring mit buntem Glas. 

Doch funkelt in der Sonnengluth
Wie Diamant der Ring,
Und küssen kann ich grad so gut
Als wie ein Edeling.

Confirmed with Rudolf Baumbach, Spielmannslieder, Leipzig: A. G. Liebeskind, 1883, page 23. Note: the Hofmeister Monatsberichte catalog for October 1898 erroneously lists Heinrich Schrader as having set this to music instead of Hermann Schramke.
