by Ignaz Heinrich Freiherr von Wessenberg (1774 - 1860)

Die schöne Spinnerin
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Spinn' , o Mädchen!  Froh die Fädchen 
Für dein Brautgewand; 
Schöner kleide dich's,  als Seide 
Und als gold'ner Tand.  

Noch ein Fädchen spinn',  o Mädchen! 
Ganz aus Liebe spinn's! 
In der Treue Himmelsbläue 
Tauch' es, stillen Sinn's!  

Dieses Fädchen leit, o Mädchen,  
Dich durch Gottes Flur!  
Himmlich weben dann dein Leben 
Einfalt und Natur.
