Am tiefen klaren Brunnen
 (Sung text for setting by K. Bürgel)

Am tiefen klaren Brunnen
Da sitzt ein Mägdelein,
Es fallen ihre Thränen
Wohl in den Brunnen hinein.

So wie das Wasser im Brunnen,
So rein ist auch ihr Herz,
So tief grad’ wie der Brunnen,
So tief ist auch ihr Schmerz.

Was mag sie nur so weinen?
So jung hat sie schon Gram?
Sie trauert weil ihr Geliebter
Heut eine Andere nahm.
