Es geht ein Wind von Westen, Die Linden stöhnen sehr, Der Mond lugt aus den Ästen In meine Stube her. Ich habe meiner Lieben, Die mich verlassen hat, Einen langen Brief geschrieben, Der Mond scheint auf das Blatt. Bei seinem stillen Scheinen, Das über die Zeilen geht, Vergisst mein Herz vor Weinen Schlaf, Mond und Nachtgebet.

13. Wanderschaft [sung text checked 1 time]
Im Walde blüht der Seidelbast, Im [Graben]1 liegt [noch]2 Schnee; Das du mir heut' geschrieben hast, Das Brieflein tat mir weh. [Jetzt]3 schneid' ich einen Stab im Holz; Ich weiß ein ander Land, Da sind die [Jungfern]4 nicht so stolz [Dem Lieben]5 abgewandt. Im Walde blüht der Seidelbast, Kein Brieflein tut mir weh, Und das du mir geschrieben hast, Schwimmt draußen auf dem See, Schwimmt draußen auf dem Bodensee, Ja draußen auf dem See.
