by Ernst Viktor Schellenberg (1827 - 1896), as Ernst Veit

Und muss ich von dir scheiden
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Choose for Diff
Und muss ich von dir scheiden,
Treu bleib ich dir gesinnt,
In allen Schmerz und Leiden
Behüt' dich Gott, mein Kind! 

Was Gott in dich geleget,
O daß es nie verrinnt,
Von Engeln sei's gepfleget --
Behüt' dich Gott, mein Kind!

Umspielt mit weichem Kusse
Dein Haar der Frühlingswind,
Kehr' ich mit meinem Gruße: 
Behüt' dich Gott, mein Kind!
