  Wenn sich ein junger Knabe muß
Von seinem Mädchen scheiden,
Wie bringt doch jeder letzte Kuß
Statt Lust nur neues Leiden!

  Und wenn erst gar die Stunde schlägt,
Und er sich losgerissen,
Das arme Herz es kaum erträgt,
Das Auge will zerfließen.

  Nun geht er seiner Straße nach,
Die Brust will ihm zerspringen;
Was kümmert ihn der Frühlingstag,
Und ob die Vögel singen!

  Bis um ihn her sich weit und breit
Die stille Nacht geschwungen,
Da hat er denn sein Herzeleid
In Liedern ausgesungen.
