from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Es warb ein schöner Jüngling
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Choose for Diff
Es warb ein schöner Jüngling 
Über ein breiten See, 
Um eines Königs Tochter, 
Nach Leid geschah ihm Weh. 

Ach Elselein, lieber Buhle,
Wie gern wär ich bei dir;
So fließen zwei tiefe Wasser
Wohl zwischen mir und dir.
