Gieb mir ein Herz von Eisen
 (Sung text for setting by Mihalovich)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Gieb mir ein Herz von Eisen
In einer Brust von Stahl,
Daß ich mag sicher reisen
Durch dieses Erdenthal.

Denn sie, die ich zumeist geliebt,
Zum Tode haben mich betrübt;
Ich blut' aus tausend Wunden,
Mag nimmermehr gesunden!

Gieb mir ein Herz von Eisen
In einer Brust von Stahl,
Daß ich mag sicher reisen
Durch dieses Erdenthal.
