from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Wär' ich geblieben doch auf meiner Heide
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wär' ich geblieben doch auf meiner Heide,
Dort hätt' ich nichts gewußt von all dem Leide! 
Wär' ich daheim doch nur, daheim geblieben,
Ich hätte nichts gewußt von all dem Lieben; 
Bleiben, ach, darf ich nicht und kann nicht scheiden;
Wär' ich geblieben doch auf meiner Heiden!
