by (Karl) Ludwig Pfau (1821 - 1894)

Einsam bin ich und alleine
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Einsam bin ich und alleine,
Tragen muß ich Lust und Schmerz,
Und zurück in's eigne Herz
Rinnt die Träne die ich weine.

Frühling kam und hat nicht eine
Rose mir gesteckt an's Herz;
Frühling kam mit Spiel und Scherz,
Einsam bin ich und alleine.

Große Augen, arme Kleine,
Schick' ich fragen allerwärts;
Aber in kein liebes Herz
Rinnt die Träne die ich weine.
