by Peter Cornelius (1824 - 1874)

Untreu
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Mein Lied ist klein, 
Bracht wenig Platz,
Ich nannte mein 
Viellieben Schatz.

Ich sing' es scheu  
Und leise nur:
Er schwur mir Treu 
Und brach den Schwur.

Auf immer floh'n
Mich Glück und Fried' --
Da habt ihr schon
Das End' vom Lied.

Confirmed with Gedichte von Peter Cornelius, eingeleitet von Adolf Stern, Leipzig, C. F. Kahnt Nachfolger, 1890, page 113.
