Lebe wohl! Du lieber Herr Schleich! Wie bist du groß! Wie bist du reich! Mit deiner Stimme lind und weich Singst du den lieben Engelein gleich! O Schleich, o Schleich! Wie bist du reich! Singst alle uns ja krank und bleich! Mit deiner Stimme lind und weich Singst du den lieben Engelein gleich! Du singst uns alle ins Himmelreich! Lebe wohl! Lebe wohl!

View text with all available footnotesNote: The musical manuscript of Lang's incomplete song only contains the text up to and including the first three words of line 3, although the vocal line could accommodate the text up to and including the first four words of line 4. The rest of the text above was cobbled together from two copies of the poem in Lang's hand in a different manuscript booklet.
