Daz iuwer min engel walte!
 (Sung text for setting by C. Lorenz)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG FRE
Und willst du von mir scheiden,
  Mein herzgeliebter Knab',
Soll Alles Dich begleiten,
  Was ich von Freuden hab'.
Mir bleibt, wenn du geschieden,
  Mein traurig Herz allein;
Fahr' hin, mein Lieb, in Frieden!
  Mein Engel hüte dein!

Ihm ward zur Hut gegeben
  Mein Glück und meine Ruh';
Ach, Glück und Ruh' und Leben,
  Herzlieb, das bist ja du!
Und bist mir du geschieden,
  Flieht auch der Engel mein;
Fahr' hin, mein Lieb, in Frieden!
  Mein Engel hüte dein!

O daß er dir verschwiege,
  Was dich betrüben mag,
Wie ich verlassen liege
  In Sehnsucht Nacht und Tag!
Mein Bild soll mit dir gehen
  Im alten Freudenschein;
Fahr' hin, auf Wiedersehen!
  Mein Engel hüte dein!
Note: the poem is preceded by the following:
Daz iuwer min engel walte!
Alter Gruß.
