by Franz Xaver Trautmann (1813 - 1887)

Das verlassene Kind
 (Sung text for setting by J. Rheinberger)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ein Blümlein steh ich einsam da,
So einsam, ach, allein;
Es sehnt sich fort, o weit, weit fort,
Bei Fremden muss es sein!

Sie rissen mich vom lieben Heim
Und führten mich daher.
Wie soll's in fremder Erde blühn,
In Sehnsucht immer mehr?

O Mutterliebe weiß es fern
Und muss verlassen sein.
O Mütterlein, so weit von dir
Muss ich verkommen allein!
