Deine Mutter, süßes Kind
 (Sung text for setting by H. Wolf)
 Matches base text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG FRE
Deine Mutter, süßes Kind,
da sie in den Weh'n gelegen,
brausen hörte sie den Wind.
Und so hat sie dich geboren 
mit dem falschen wind'gen Sinn.
Hast du heut ein Herz erkoren,
wirfst es morgen treulos hin.
Doch den zähl' ich zu den Toren,
der dich schmäht der Untreu wegen:
Dein Geschick war dir entgegen;
denn die Mutter, süßes Kind,
da sie in den Weh'n gelegen,
brausen hörte sie den Wind.
Note: this is an original poem by Heyse, written under the pseudonym of Don Luis el Chico.
