by Elisabeth Kulmann (1808 - 1825)
Du nennst mich armes Mädchen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Du nennst mich -- armes Mädchen; Du irrst, ich bin nicht arm. Entreiss dich, Neugier halber, Einmal des Schlafes Arm, Und schau' mein niedres Hüttchen, Wenn sich die Sonne hold Am Morgenhimmel hebet: Sein Dach ist reines Gold! Komm' Abends, wann die Sonne Bereits zum Meere sinkt, Und sieh' mein einzig Fenster, Wie's von Topasen blinkt!
Note: at the top of the Schumann score is the following text: "Es wurde ihr wohl von unverständigen Kindern ihre Armuth manchmal
vorgeworfen; das folgende Lied ist eine Antwort darauf."
