Trennung
 (Sung text for setting by F. Draeseke)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Er ritt so einsam durch den Wald,
Sie fuhr so einsam auf dem See;
Sein Rößlein ging und machte Halt.
Er sprach nicht: „Halt!”  Er sprach nicht: „Geh!”

 ... 

 ... 
Sie horchte: „Still, die Woge spricht!”
Doch war's ein Seufzer ihrer Brust.

Das Rößlein ruht im grünem Tann,
Der Nachen steht die längste Zeit.
Sie träumet von dem schönsten Mann,
Er träumet von der schönsten Maid.
