Ach Lieb, ich muß nun scheiden, gehn über Berg und Thal:
Die Erlen und die Weiden, die weinen allzumal.
Sie sahn so oft uns wandern zusammen an Baches Rand,
Das eine ohn' den andern geht über ihren Verstand.
Die Erlen und die Weiden vor Schmerz in Thränen stehn, --
Nun denket, wie's uns beiden erst muß zu Herzen gehn!
