Abschied
Language:
German
Ach mich hält der Gram gefangen,
Meinem Herzen ist so weh,
Denn ich soll von hinnen ziehen
Über jenes Berges Höh.
Was einst mein war, ist verloren,
Alle, alle Hoffnung flieht;
Ja, ich fürchte, daß, o Mädchen,
Dich mein Aug' nicht [wieder sieht]1.
Dunkel wird mein Weg sich dehnen,
Wenn ich scheiden muß von hier:
Steh' ich dann auf jenem Berge,
Seufz' ich [ein Mal]1 noch nach dir.
