Das zerbrochene Krüglein
 (Sung text for setting by A. Schoenberg)
 Matches base text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich hab' zum Brunnen ein Krüglein gebracht,
Es ging in Scherben,
Mein Schatz verließ mich über Nacht,
Und ich möcht' sterben.

Ich geh' zum Brunnen gar nimmermehr -
Soll Einer werben!
Sein Schiff ist wohl schon weit im Meer,
Und ich möcht' sterben.
