Mutterseelenallein
 (Sung text for setting by H. Esser)
 See base text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Es blickt so still der Mond mich an
es fliesst so still der Rhein;
der Fischerknabe steht im Kahn
so mutterseelenallein.

Ich sitz am Rocken traurig still
in meinem Kämmerlein;
das Rädchen mir nicht schnurren will
so mutterseelenallein.

Wärst du bei mir, wär' ich bei dir
du lieber Knabe mein,
du stünd'st nicht dort, ich säss nicht hier
so mutterseelenallein.

 ... 

Composition:

    Set to music by Heinrich Esser (1818 - 1872), "Mutterseelenallein", published 1843, stanzas 1-3 [ voice and piano ], Mainz, Schott
