Ein Jüngling liebt ein [Mädchen,]1 Die hat einen andern erwählt; Der andre liebt eine andre, Und hat sich mit dieser vermählt. Das Mädchen [heiratet]2 aus Ärger Den ersten besten Mann, Der ihr in den Weg gelaufen; Der Jüngling ist übel dran. Es ist eine alte Geschichte, Doch bleibt sie immer neu; Und wem sie [just]3 passieret, Dem bricht das Herz entzwei.

6. Und wüßten's die Blumen, die kleinen [sung text not yet checked]
Language: German (Deutsch)
Und wüßten's die Blumen, die kleinen, Wie tief verwundet mein Herz, Sie würden mit mir weinen, Zu heilen meinen Schmerz. Und wüßten's die Nachtigallen, Wie ich so traurig und krank, Sie ließen fröhlich erschallen Erquickenden Gesang. Und wüßten sie mein Wehe, Die [goldnen]1 Sternelein, Sie kämen aus ihrer Höhe, Und sprächen Trost mir ein. [Die]2 alle können's nicht wissen, Nur [eine]3 kennt meinen Schmerz; [Sie]4 hat ja selbst zerrissen, Zerrissen mir das Herz.
