by (Friedrich) Christian Kirchhoff (1822 - 1894)

Nun soll ich von dir scheiden
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Nun soll ich von dir scheiden.
Muß Das nicht wehe thun?
Dars nur die Hand dir drüken,
Doch nicht am Herzen ruhn.

Dein will ich immer bleiben.
Wie würd' ich untreu je?
Es wallt das Herz mir über,
Wenn dir in's Aug' ich seh'.
