"O, ihr Wolken, gebet Wasser
Daß ich weinen, weinen kann!
Meine Augen, die sind nasser
Als der Donaufluß!
Ach, in Trauern muß ich leben,
Ach, wie hab' ich's denn verschuldet?
Weil mir's hat mein Schatz aufgeben,
Muß ich's leiden mit Geduld.
Wenn ich zwei Taubenflügel hätt',
Wollt' fliegen über die ganze Welt,
Wollt' fliegen über Berg und Tal,
Hin wo mein Herzallerliebster wär'!"
Ach, Scheiden, ach, Scheiden!
Wer hat doch das Scheiden erdacht? ...
Der hat ihr jung frisch Herze
So frühzeitig traurig gemacht!
