from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Liebeslied
 (Sung text for setting by E. Zeisl)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Der süße Schlaf, der sonst stillt alles wohl,
Kann stillen nicht mein Herz von Trauer voll,
Dies schafft allein, der mich erfreuen soll. 

Kein Speis, kein Trank mir Lust noch Nahrung giebt,
Kein Kurzweil mehr mein traurig Herze liebt,
Dies schafft allein, der so mein Herz betrübt. 

Gesellschaft ich nicht mehr besuchen mag,
Ganz einig sitz in Unmut Nacht und Tag,
Dies schafft allein, den ich am Herzen trag.
