Liebesklagen des Mädchens I
 (Sung text for setting by G. Henschel)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Der süße Schlaf, der sonst stillt alles wohl,
Kann stillen nicht mein Herz mit Trauren voll,
Das schafft allein, der mich erfreuen soll. 

Kein Speis, kein Trank mir Lust noch Nahrung giebt,
Kein Kurzweil mehr mein traurig Herze liebt,
Das schafft allein, der so mein Herz betrübt. 

Mein' Freundinn' all' ich nicht mehr sehen mag,
Ganz einig sitz in Unmut Nacht und Tag,
Das schafft allein, den ich im Herzen trag.
