Stamm und Ranke
 (Sung text for setting by M. de Rothschild)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Du bist der Stamm, ich bin die Ranke,
Du stehest fest, auch ohne mich;
Ich aber, Liebster, beb' und wanke
Und sinke kraftlos -- ohne Dich.

Und mag ich schmücken auch dein Leben
Und dich umklammern inniglich,
Du mußt mich stützen, tragen, heben,
Du bist der Stamm -- die Ranke ich.
Confirmed with Blätter für literarische Unterhaltung, Leipzig, F. A. Brockhaus: 1870, p. 354.
