Das verlassene Mädchen
 (Sung text for setting by J. Raff)
 Matches base text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Erworben,
Verdorben!
Mein Herz ist schwer,
Ich bin nicht gestorben
Und lebe nicht mehr.

Sie haben
Begraben,
Was stets mir blieb!
Begraben sie haben
Die Treue und die Lieb'.

Ich traute
Und baute
Auf ihn allein;
Dem einzig ich traute,
Er musst' Verräter sein.

Erworben,
Verdorben!
Mein Herz ist schwer,
Ich bin nicht gestorben
Und lebe nicht mehr.

    Set to music by (Joseph) Joachim Raff (1822 - 1882), "Das verlassene Mädchen", op. 98 no. 14 (1855-63), from Sanges-Frühling, no. 14
