by Justus Friedrich Wilhelm Zachariä (1726 - 1777)

Das Klavier
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Du Echo meiner Klagen,
mein treues Saitenspiel!
Nun kömmt nach trüben Tagen
die Nacht der Sorgen Ziel.
Gehorcht mir sanfte Saiten,
und helft mein Leid bestreiten!
Doch nein laßt mir mein Leid,
und mein Zärtlichkeit.

Ihr holden Saiten klinget
in sanfter Harmonie,
flieht was die Oper singet,
und folgt der Fantasie.
Seyd sanft wie meine Liebe,
besinget ihre Triebe,
und zeigt durch eure Macht,
das sie euch singend macht.
