by Julius (Ernst Wilhelm) Stinde (1841 - 1905)

Wissen willst du, was ich thu' und...
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wissen willst du, was ich thu' und treibe,
Wo der Weg mich führt und wo ich bleibe? 
Mütterchen, das kann ich dir nicht sagen,
Mußt danach mein süßes Liebchen fragen. 

Meinem Treulieb' hab' ich mich ergeben,
Gab die Seele hin fürs ganze Leben. 
Mütterchen, du darfst danach nicht fragen,
Wie das kommen ist, kann ich nicht sagen.
