by (Karl) Wilhelm Osterwald (1820 - 1887)

Der Schatz in Frankreich
 (Sung text for setting by V. Lachner)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Mein Schatz ist über'm Rheinesstrand
  Im Kriege
Und hilft dem deutschen Vaterland
  Zum Siege:
Sie sagen ja dass Jeder wär'
Ein tapfrer Held im deutschen Heer,
Da ist doch sicher meiner
  Auch einer.

Ich trau's ihm zu, er wird sein' Pflicht
  Beweisen
Bis er das Kreuz der Ehre kriegt
  Von Eisen --
Ach Gott! ich wär' ihm ja nicht bös,
Käm' er zurück ohn' den Erlös
Aus seinem eignen Blute,
  Der Gute.

 ...
