[Da]1 unten wohnte sonst mein Lieb, Die ist jetzt schon begraben, Der Baum noch vor der Türe blieb, Wo wir gesessen haben. Stets muß ich nach dem Hause sehn Und seh doch nichts vor Weinen Und wollt' ich auch hinuntergehn, Ich stürb' dort so alleine!

Down there once lived my love, Who has now already been buried; The tree still remains before the door Where we used to sit. I always want to see the house And yet I see nothing through my tears And if I wanted to go down too, There I would die, utterly alone!
