by Karl Gutzkow (1811 - 1878)

Erstes Lied der Liesli
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Grüß' mein Lieb, grüß' mein Lieb
daheim viel tausendmal!
Und sag' ihr nur, ich käm' auch bald,
wenn erst die Zweiglein grün im Wald,
im Wald, im Wald,
die Lerche singt im Tal.

Und sag' ihr nur, die Welt ist rund,
[und dass]1 ich mein Glück nicht fand;
erst lauf' ich noch ab ein Paar neue Schuh',
dann sitz' ich bei meinem Lieb in Ruh',
in Ruh', in Ruh'
daheim in Schwabenland.
