Woe, how wrathful is the maiden

(Sung text translation for setting by R. Schumann)

See original

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Woe, how wrathful is the maiden!
Woe, how wrathful, woe, woe!

The maiden walks in the mountains
Behind her flock,
She is as beautiful as the flowers,
As wrathful as the sea.

Woe, how wrathful is the maiden!
Woe, how wrathful, woe, woe!
