by Oscar von Redwitz-Schmölz (1823 - 1891)

Mein Liebchen ist kein stolzes Schloß
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Mein Liebchen ist kein stolzes Schloß,
Dran prunkend reiche Säulen stehn,
Nach dessen Fenstern hoch zu Roß
Viel [Herrn mit eitelm Grüsse]1 sehen.

'sist nur ein Kirchlein tief im Wald,
[Drum]2 ranket Ros' und Rebe sich.
So klar [und fromm]3 sein Glöcklein schallt
Und niemand betet drin als ich.
