Frauenhaar
 (Sung text for setting by F. Gernsheim)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT FRE
'Frauenhaar' trag' ich am Hute,
Wie Flachs so weich, wie Seide so fein,
Flirrfädelnd spinnt's im Sonnenschein,
Flott flatterts in den Wind hinein,
Ich trag' es mit fröhlichem Mute,
Und denke dein,
Mein Seidenhaar,
Die meine Sonne, mein Sehnen war,
Mein Leben im bebenden Blute,
Du Weiche, du Feine, du Gute.
