Auf die Berge muß ich gehen

Auf die Berge muß ich gehen, 
muß nach deinem Fenster sehen, 
muß dir winken, muß dir nicken, 
muß dir tausend Grüße schicken, 
Glück dir wünschen, Dank dir sagen,
denn in diesen Frühlingstagen:
O Johanna, gabst nur Du 
Freude mir und Glück und Ruh.
Von den Bergen steig ich nieder, 
der mich sandte meine Lieder, 
all die schönsten die ich habe, 
die als duftge Frühlingsgabe, 
diese Botschaft dir zu sagen, 
ja, in diesen Frühlingstagen:
O Johanna, gabst nur du 
Freude mir und Fried und Ruh.
