"Ach, wie ist's möglich dann" also known as "Treue Liebe", and “How Can I Leave Thee” is a German now-traditional song. Friedrich Wilhelm Kücken (1810–1882), a German composer and conductor, claimed to have composed the tune, and that it was later modified "probably by Silcher" and given the general name Thüringer Volkslied. Its popularity helped Kücken get chosen for the court of Paul Frederick, Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. The tune is used at West Point, Lincoln University (Missouri) and Wake Forest University. Marlene Dietrich sang the song and it has been used in some movies, e.g. Three Comrades uses the melody throughout the film as Leitmotif for love. Similarly, Max Ophüls used it in the same year as a leitmotiv in Le Roman de Werther. The silent film Ach, wie ist's möglich dann (1913) by Peter Ostermayr bears the song's title.
