22 Neue Gesänge für gemischten Chor

Song Cycle by Ferdinand Kamm (1845 - 1897)

13. Scheiden

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Was macht dir, Herzliebster!
Die Wangen so blaß?
Was macht dir das Auge
Von Kummer so naß?

O Liebchen! Herzliebchen!
Wohl ist es mir weh;
Weit muß ich von hinnen
Weit über die See!

Und mußt du von hinnen --
Dort über die See 
Giebt's wohl noch ein Liebchen. 
Herzliebster! ade!

Es scheinen viel Sterne
Am Himmelsgezelt;
Doch keiner von allen
Wie Luna gefällt.

So nimm nur dies Ringlein
Von Golde so schwer,
Und wird es zu eng dir,
So wirf es in's Meer.

So steck' nur dies Blümlein
An's klopfende Herz;
Und duftet's dir nimmer,
Verging auch dein Schmerz.
