Our translations:  ENG FRE
Scheide, ach scheide
Doch nur von Liebe nicht,
Blüht Liebe gleich zu Leide,
Ist sie doch Lebens-Licht!

Scheide, ach scheide,
Doch nur von Hoffnung nicht,
Sie ist ein Stern im Leide,
Ein Gottvergißmeinnicht!

Scheide, ach scheide
Doch nur vom Glauben nicht!
Der sagt dir: Liebe, leide,
Und hoff' in meinem Licht!

Scheide, ach scheide
Doch nur vom Leide nicht!
Wer nicht kennt Lieb' im Leide,
Der kennt nicht Lieb' im Licht!
