by Michael Lubi (1751 - 1807)
Language: German (Deutsch)
Am hohen, hohen Thurm, Da weht ein kalter Sturm: Geduld! die Glöcklein läuten, Die Sonne blickt von weiten. Am hohen, hohen Thurm, Da weht ein kalter Sturm. Im tiefen, tiefen Thal, Da rauscht ein Wasserfall: Geduld! ein Bißchen weiter, Dann rinnt das Bächlein heiter. Im tiefen, tiefen Thal, Da rauscht ein Wasserfall. Am kahlen, kahlen Baum, Deckt sich ein Täubchen kaum: Geduld! bald blühn die Auen, Dann wird's sein Nestchen bauen. Am kahlen, kahlen Baum, Deckt sich ein Täubchen kaum. Dich friert, mein Töchterlein! Kein Freund sagt: komm herein! Laß unser Stündchen schlagen, Dann werden's Englein sagen. Das beste Stübchen gibt Gott jenem, den er liebt.
Note (with thanks to Peter Rastl for discovering this) : A song by Mariane Lubi was erroneously included in the 1872 Alte Gesamtausgabe and attributed to Schubert. Given the Deutsch number D 122, it was said to have been composed in 1814, but the song was in fact by Mariane Lubi, the wife of the author of the text. The song was first published in Vienna in 1801.
