by David Assur Assing (1787 - 1842)

Warst ein Mädchen
Language: French (Français) 
Warst ein Mädchen,
Lagst im Grase,
Froh mit aufgelöstem Haar.

Wardst ein Bräutchen,
Trugst ein Kränzchen
In dem aufgeflochtnen Haar.

Wardst ein Weibchen,
Trugst ein Häubchen
Und das Kind, das weinend kam. --

Und nun liegst du
Unterm Grase,
Wo die erste Freude war.
