Flamändische Liebesklage
 (Sung text for setting by J. Netzer)
 Matches base text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich weiß ja, warum ich so traurig bin,
mein Schatz ist gezogen nach England hin;
er hat mich gelassen alleine!
Da sitze ich, spinne und weine.

Den Samstag vorm heiligen Osterfest,
da bin ich zum letztenmal lustig gewest,
des Ostertags zog er sein' Straßen,
da hat mich all' Freude verlassen.

Ach lieber Schatz, kehre bald wieder heim
und komm zu dein'm treuen Mägdelein;
ach komm in ihre Arme!
Lass sie an deinem Herzen erwarmen!

Composition:
