On Sunday morning, dressed so gracefully

W. Riedel

On Sunday morning, dressed so gracefully,

Well do I know where you went,

And there were many people who saw you

And came then to me to complain about you.

When they told me, I laughed loudly,

But then in my room, I wept the night.

When they told me, I began to sing,

But then afterwards, alone, I wrung my hands raw.
