by Rudolph Baumbach (1840 - 1905)

Vorbei, vorbei
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Ich habe geträumt bis Morgens fruh
Den schönsten Traum; mein Traum warst du. 
Ich durfte im Traum dein Stirnlein küssen; 
Am Morgen habe ich weinen müssen. 

Ich habe geklopft des Morgens fruh
An deine Thüre; sie blieb nicht zu. 
Du bist nicht besser als alle andern. 
Vorbei, vorbei! Muss wieder wandern. 

Note for the first line of both stanzas: Baumbach omitted the Umlaut on "früh" for the sake of the rhyme.

Confirmed with Rudolf Baumbach, Spielmannslieder, Leipzig: Verlag von A. G. Liebeskind, 1883, page 45.
