Es ritten drei Reiter zum Tor hinaus,
    Ade!
Feins Liebchen schaute zum Fenster hinaus,
    Ade!
Und wenn es denn soll geschieden sein,
So reich mir dein goldenes Ringelein,
    Ade! Ade! Ade!
Ja, scheiden und meiden tut weh.

 ... 

Es scheidet das Kind wohl in der Wieg',
    Ade!
Wenn werd' ich mein Schätzel wohl kriegen?
    Ade!
Und ist es nicht morgen? Ach wär' es doch heut,
Es macht' uns allbeiden gar große Freud',
    Ade! Ade! Ade!
Ja, scheiden und meiden tut weh.

Composition:

    Set to music by Gustav Mahler (1860 - 1911), "Scheiden und Meiden", published 1892, stanzas 1,3 [ voice and piano ], Mainz, Schott
