Einsam im Walde
blüht wohl ein Blümlein rot,
bald, allzubald bin ich tot,
bald, allzubalde.
Fleugt wo ein Stückchen Blei,
nimmt mir mein Sorgen.
Mir ist halt einerlei:
heut oder morgen.
Weit, wo das Tal hinab
graben drei Spaten,
graben ein kühles Grab
für ein Soldaten.
Drüben im Dämmerschein,
allwo im Städtchen
weint wo im Kämmerlein
irgendein Mädchen.
Blüht wohl ein Blümlein rot
einsam im Walde,
balde, gar bald bin ich tot,
bald, allzubalde.
