Ach Gott, wie soll ich singen, wie lieb mein Schatz mir war:
Ich hab' sie sehen bringen auf einer Totenbahr.
Und will ich nun gedenken ihrer Finger weiß und fein, 
Fällt mir mit vielem Kränken ihr weißes Bahrtuch ein. 
Will durch den Sinn mir gehen ihrer Wangen roter Duft, 
Muß ich die Rosen sehn, die stehn auf ihrer Gruft!
