Verbotene Liebe
 (Sung text for setting by H. Zilcher)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Die Nacht ist rauh und einsam,
Die Bäume stehen entlaubt.
Es ruht an meiner Schulter
Dein kummerschweres Haupt.

Der Fuchs schnürt durch die Felder,
Wie ferne ist der Feind.
Gleichgültig glänzen die Sterne,
Dein schönes Auge weint.

Du brichst ein dürres Ästlein,
Das ist so knospenleer,
Und reichst mir dann die Hände --
Wir sahen uns nimmermehr.
