by Julius Karl Reinhold Sturm (1816 - 1896)

Die Verlassene
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Was hab' ich armes Kind gethan,
Was sehen mich so spöttisch an
Die Leute auf den Gassen?
Und wenn er treulos mich verließ,
Und wenn sein Schwur sich falsch erwies, -
Ich hab' ihn nicht verlassen.

Verzeih' es ihnen, lieber Gott,
Sie wissen nicht, wie tief ihr Spott
Mir in die Seele schneidet;
Sie ahnen nicht den bittern Schmerz,
Den dieses arme, arme Herz
Um Lieb' und Treue leidet.
