Lied der Desdemona
Language: German (Deutsch) after the English
Das arme Kind sie sass und sang An einem Baum sass sie An einer grünen Weide. Die Hand gelegt auf ihre Brust Den Kopf auf ihren Knie, An einer grünen Weide. Der Bach der murmelt neben ihr, In ihre Seufzer ein Und selbst die grüne Weide. Gewiss ein grüner Weidenzweig, Der soll ein Kränzchen sein Von jener grünen Weide.
