Süßes Begräbniss
 (Sung text for setting by C. Loewe)

Language: German (Deutsch)

Schäferin, ach wie haben
Sie dich so süß begraben!

Alle Lüfte haben gestöhnet,
Maienglocken zu Grab dir getönet,

Glühwurm wollte die Fackel tragen,
Stern ihm selbst es tät versagen.
Nacht ging schwarz in Trauerfloren,
Und all ihre Schatten gingen in Chören
Die Tränen wird dir das Morgenrot weinen,
Und den Segen die Sonn' aufs Grab dir scheinen.

Schäferin, ach, wie haben
Sie dich so süß begraben!
