Frühling war's in allen Zweigen,
Und die braune Drossel sang,
Und an deiner Schulter lehnt' ich,
O, wie war ich froh und bang!

Bin zu Füßen dir gesessen,
Hab' in Wonnen dich geküßt,
Und kann's nimmermehr vergessen,
Was du mir gewesen bist!

Nimmermehr in all den Tagen,
Nimmer in der langen Zeit - - -
Was du mir getan zu Liebe,
Was du mir getan zu Leid'!

Composition:

    Set to music by Paul Frommer (1868 - 1914), "Unvergessen", op. 42 no. 2 [ voice and piano ]
