Am Bach
 (Sung text for setting by J. Dürrner)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Am Erlenbach im Waldesgrung
hab' ich geruht eine gute Stund'.
Zu Haupt mir rauschte der alte Baum,
der wehte herab gar schönen Traum.

Es war noch die alte, süße Zeit,
mein Herz schlug selig an deiner Seit',
du warst mein eigen, warst mir gut,
wir haben uns Arm in Arm geruht;

bis dann, im dunklen Laub versteckt,
die Vöglein mich schelmisch aufgeweckt:
Sie wussten wohl, dass alles vorbei,
mein Glück, deine Lieb' und deine Treu'!
