by Ludwig Thoma (1867 - 1921)

Gib mir den letzten Kuss!
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Gib mir den letzten Kuss!
Was wir einander waren,
wir haben's recht erfahren,
weil ich jetzt scheiden muss.

Doch, Mutter, wenn ich geh',
sollst du nicht d'rum verzagen,
sollst es wie and're tragen;
dein Weinen tut mir weh'!

So denke du daran:
Müsst' ich mein armes Leben
der lieben Heimat geben,
ist's auch für dich getan!
