Frieden
 (Sung text for setting by W. Kienzl)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ging vor mir ein Mägdlein her,
Im Haar einen Blütenkranz,
Sang leise über die Saaten hinaus,
Die lagen im Abendglanz --

Schritt vor mir die Jugend hin,
Sang leise hinaus übers Grün,
Und wo ihr Auge leuchten wollt,
Da that sichs auf zum Blühn.

Schritt vor mir die Jugend,
Ich stille hinterdrein,
So zogen wir beide in Frieden
Ins Abendgold hinein.
