by Karl Stieler (1842 - 1885)

Fahr' wohl, du süße Frau
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Fahr' wohl, du süße Frau;
Fahr' wohl, du traute Stadt;
So soll es enden denn,
Was doch kein Ende hat!

Ach! in dein braunes Aug'
Hab' ich zu tief geschaut,
Und in dein lauschend Herz
Sprach ich zu laut, zu laut.

Uns schloß die Nacht nicht mehr
Die müden Augen zu;
So soll es enden denn
Mit langer, langer Ruh'!

Doch fließt der Rhein hinab
Wohl auch manch' langes Jahr,
Eh' ich's vergessen hab',
Wie schön, wie schön das war.
