by Carl August Große (1768 - 1847)

Abschied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Des Abschieds herber Schmerz 
Von dir bricht mir das Herz 
Du liebe Maid!  
Weit, weit ins Land hinaus 
Ruft mich's zum Schlachten Graus, 
Hab' keine Freud'!  

Wenn Schlachten donnerbrüllt 
Und jede Brust erfüllt,  
Dann denk' ich dein! 
Mahnt dich des Ostens Gluth 
An seiner Kämpfer Blut, 
Dann denk auch mein!  

Werd' ich dich wiedersehn, 
Wenn Friedensbanner wehn 
Auf freien Höhn?  
Wo ew'ger Friede wohnt 
Und ew'ge Freiheit thront, 
Ist Wiedersehn!
