O Römerin, was schauest du
 (Sung text for setting by G. Henschel)

O Römerin, was schauest du
Zu mir mit sengenden Blicken?
Dein Aug' ist schön, doch nimmer wird's
Den fremden Mann berücken.

Jenseits der Alpen steht ein Grab,
Gegraben am grünen Rheine,
Drei wilde Rosen blühen drauf,
Seine Liebe liegt dareine.

O Römerin, was schauest du
Zu mir mit sengenden Blicken?
Dein Aug' ist schön, doch nimmer wird's
Den fremden Mann berücken.
