Über die Berge
Zieht ihr fort;
Kommt an manchen
Grünen Ort,
Muß zurücke
Ganz allein;
Lebet wohl!
Es muß so seyn.
Scheiden,
Meiden,
Was man liebt,
Ach wie wird
Das Herz betrübt!
O Seenspiegel,
Wald und Hügel
Schwinden all';
Hör' verschwimmen
Eurer Stimmen
Wiederhall.
Lebt wohl! 
Klingt klagevoll. 
Ach wie wird
Das Herz betrübt!
Scheiden,
Meiden,
Was man liebt.

Note: Schubert received Mayrhofer's texts generally in handwriting; the printed edition of Mayrhofer's poems appeared much later and presents the texts usually in a revised version. This version does not appear to exist in published form apart from Schubert's song.
