by Josephine Lang (1815 - 1880)

Die scheidende Braut
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
So leb' denn wohl du stilles Haus!
Ich werd' auf immer von dir scheiden! 
Zieh' auch beglückt ich aus dir hinaus
Verlass' ich meiner Jugend Freuden!
Hab' oft geträumt an der Eltern Brust!
Mit frohem Herzen gejauchzt in Lust!
In harmloser Unschuld Spiel!
O ich hatte der Freuden viel!

Doch, rückwärts blicken will ich nicht!
Denn vor mir glänzt ein schönes liebes Licht!
Ich zieh' ja nicht allein hinaus
Hab' ja ein liebend treues Herze drauß!
So treu und warm gleich der Eltern Brust
Werd' ich finden dort des Himmels Lust!
Denn beÿ ihm allein bin ich zu Haus!
Ach! Nur beÿ ihm find' ich mein Heimath-Haus!

Note: Josephine Lang wrote her own text and this text changed somewhat over the course of the three autographs of this song. The text given here is from the final version.
