Sieh mein Kind ich gehe
 (Sung text for setting by A. Schnabel)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Sieh mein kind ich gehe.
Denn du darfst nicht kennen
Nicht einmal durch nennen
Menschen müh und wehe.
Mir ist um dich bange.
Sieh mein kind ich gehe
Dass von deiner wange
Nicht der duft verwehe.
Würde dich belehren ·
Müsste dich versehren
Und das macht mir wehe.
Sieh mein kind ich gehe.
