Und hab' so grosse Sehnsucht doch Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch)
Ich hab' kein' Mutter, die mich hegt, Die Mutter schläft im Grund. Ich hab' kein' Buhlen, der mich küßt, Auf meinen rothen Mund. Und hab' so große Sehnsucht doch, Und hab' so jungen Sinn -- Was hab' ich dir, o Gott, gethan, Daß ich so einsam bin?
