o cruel was my father - ludwig van beethoven lyrics

o cruel was my father
that shut the door on me
and cruel was my mother
that such a thing could see
and cruel is the wintry wind
that chills my heart with cold
but crueler than all, the lad
that left my love for gold
hush, hush, my lovely baby
and warm thee in my breast
ah! little thinks thy father
how sadly we’re distrest
for cruel as he is
did he know but how we fare
he’d shield me in his arms
from this bitter piercing air

cold, cold, my dearest jewel!
thy little life is gone!
o let my tears receivе thee
so warm that trickle down!
my tears that gush so warm
oh, they freezе before they fall
ah, wretched, wretched mother
thou art now bereft of all!
then down she sunk despairing
upon the drifted snow
and, wrung with k!lling anguish
lamented loud her woe
she kiss’d her baby’s pale lips
and laid by her side;
then cast her eyes to heaven
then bow’d her head, and died
