Ein goldenes Kettlein
 (Sung text for setting by J. Marx)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Acht der winzigen Perlen enthält das goldene Kettlein,
So magst der Tränlein du acht senden mir einstens ins Grab.
Trag es nur immer; am Tag verborgen vom schützenden Kleide,
Wie du sorgsam verbargst unser Geheimnis der Welt.
Doch in verschwiegenen Nächten, o trag es zum süßen Gedenken,
Daß der Spender so oft nächtlich am Hals dir hing.
