Als ihr Geliebter schied
Language: German (Deutsch) after the French (Français)
Als ihr Geliebter schied, Ich hörte die Türe gehn. Als ihr Geliebter schied, Da hab ich sie weinen gesehn, Doch als er wieder kam, Ich hörte des Lichtes Schein Doch als er wieder kam, War ein anderer daheim. Und ich sah den Tod, Mich streifte sein Hauch Und ich sah den Tod, Der erwartet ihn auch.
