Two comely maidens / Es gingen zwei Gespielen gut
op.49,1
( My dearest friend why do you weep ; Gespiele liebste, G'spiele mein ; And since we both the same lad love ; Und han wir zwei ein Knaben lieb ; The lad stood 'neath a linden tree ; Der Knab unter ein Linden stund ; I'll let the rich one go her way ; Ich will die Reiche fahren lan ; A golden ring he gave to her ; Gab ihr von Gold ein Ringelein )
