by Anna (Nuhn) Ritter (1865 - 1921)

Es geht ein Liedchen im Volke
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Es geht ein Liedchen im Volke,
Die Mädchen singen's zur Nacht,
Wenn unter den flüsternden Halmen
Im Felde die Sehnsucht erwacht.

Das Lied vom zerbrochenen Ringlein
Und von der Mühle im Grund,
Die Wasser wogten und rauschten,
Dem Burschen war gar so wund.

Ich sang's so oft mit den Andern,
Nun schleich' ich mich leise vorbei
Und berge das Haupt in den Händen:
"Das Ringlein sprang entzwei."
