* Die Post (The Post) *

The post-horn rings
Rings through the streets
Heart, where do these feelings come from?

The post has no news for me
So heart, why do you grieve?

The post has arrived
From the town
Where once, my heart
I loved so dearly

I'll ask the postman, Heart
If he has been to that town
And if he has seen
The fair one you loved
