Früh, wann die Hähne kräh'n,
Eh' die Sternlein verschwinden,
Muß ich am Herde stehn,
Muß Feuer zünden.

Schön ist der Flammen Schein,
Es springen die Funken.
Ich schaue so darein,
In Leid versunken.

Plötzlich, da kommt es mir,
Treuloser Knabe,
Daß ich die Nacht von dir
Geträumet habe.

Träne auf Träne dann
Stürzet hernieder;
So kommt der Tag heran -
O ging' er wieder!

Het in de steek gelaten meisje

(Sung text translation for setting by G. Molitor)

See original

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)

Vroeg, als net kraait de haan,
Vóór de sterren (ver)bleken,
Moet 'k bij de haard al staan,
Het vuur aansteken.
 
Mooi is het vlammenvuur,
De springende vonken.
Ik kijk er naar, (ik) tuur,
In leed verzonken.
 
Plots'ling gebeurt het mij:
Jij bent gekomen!
Trouwloze jongen, jij
Kwelt 's nachts mijn dromen.
 
D' een na de and're traan
Valt op mijn kleren;
Daar komt de dag al aan --
Wou hij maar keren!
