An die Natur
Language: German (Deutsch)
Süße, heilige Natur,
[Laß mich gehn auf deiner Spur]1!
Leite mich an deiner Hand,
Wie ein Kind am Gängelband!
Wenn ich dann ermüdet bin,
[Rück]2 ich dir am Busen hin,
Athme [süsse]3 [Himmelslust]4,
[Hangend]5 an der [Mutter Brust]6.
[Ach, mir ist so wohl bey dir]!7
Will dich lieben für und für.
[Laß mich gehn auf deiner Spur]1,
Süsse, heilige Natur!

Aan de Natuur
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)
Zoete, heilige Natuur,
Laat mij volgen jouw bestuur,
Leid mij veilig aan jouw hand,
Als een kind aan 'n leidselband.
Raak ik afgemat en moe,
Zink ik naar jouw boezem toe,
Adem, als een kleine vorst,
Lust in aan jouw moederborst.
Ach, hoe goed voel 'k mij bij jou!
'k Blijf mijn leven lang je trouw;
Laat mij volgen jouw bestuur,
Zoete, heilige Natuur!
