Die Jungfrau ging zum Mohn am Hang
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Danish (Dansk)
Die Jungfrau ging zum Mohn am Hang, So roth, so roth er wallte; Sie lauschte dort dem Vogelsang, so süss, so süss er schallte. Der Pfarrer rief: Ach Jungfräulein, Flieh schnell vom rothen Hange; Du stirbst sobald das Ohr du leihn Wirst süssem Vogelsange! Die Jungfrau lacht: Wer hat entfacht Den rothen Mohn am Hange? Und wessen Preis erklingt mit Macht Aus süssem Vogelsange?
From the Sinding score.
