Die Verlassene
 (Sung text for setting by W. Courvoisier)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
O singt nur, ihr Schwestern, mit fröhlichem Mund
Und führet den Reigen im Lindengrund
Mit den Burschen bei Zithern und Geigen! -
Mich aber laßt gehn und schweigen!

Was blickt ihr mir nach, und was wollt ihr von mir?
Ich habe die Freude getragen wie ihr
In der Brust mit Lachen und Scherzen -
Nun trag' ich den Tod im Herzen.

 ... 

Die Treue, die Treue, darauf ich gebaut,
Sie ist mit dem Schnee vor der Sonne zertaut;
Wie Spreu vor dem Winde, so stiebet
Meine Liebe, die ich geliebet.
