O du mein Alles auf der Welt
 (Sung text for setting by F. Abt)
 Matches base text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
O du mein Alles auf der Welt,
mein Liebstes unterm Himmelszelt,
mein Edelstein 
von hellstem Schein,
ich grüsse dich von ferne.
Du holde Maid, wie säh' ich
dir ins Auge doch so gerne!

O du mein Alles auf der Welt,
mein Liebstes unterm Himmelszelt,
nun denk' ich an dich 
voll Wehmut ich,
denn du bist ferne, ferne.
Du liebe Maid, dein süßes Wort,
wie hört' ich's doch so gerne!

O du mein Alles auf der Welt,
mein Stern, der jede Nacht erhellt,
komm', bring' zurück 
mir Ruh' und Glück.
Wie lang' noch weilst due ferne.
Du treue Maid, an deiner Brust,
wie ruht' ich doch so gerne!
