Beglückt, beglückt, Wer dich erblickt, Und deinen Himmel trinket; [Wem]1 dein Gesicht Voll Engellicht Den Gruß des Friedens winket. Ein süsser Blick, Ein Wink, ein Nick, Glänzt mir wie Frühlingssonnen; Den ganzen Tag Sinn' ich ihm nach, Und schweb' in Himmelswonnen. Dein holdes Bild Führt mich so mild An sanfter Blumenkette; In meinem Arm Erwacht es warm, Und geht mit mir zu Bette. Beglückt, beglückt, Wer dich erblickt, Und deinen Himmel trinket; [Wen]2 süsser Blick Und Wink und Nick Zum süssern Kusse winket.
A. Harder sets stanzas 1-3, 1

Geniet, geniet, Wie jou aanziet, Jouw hemel in mag drinken, Als jouw gezicht Vol engellicht Zijn vredegroet laat blinken. Een lieve blik, Een wenk, een knik Warmt mij als lentezonnen; De hele dag Ben ik van slag, Mijn hemel is begonnen. Jouw lieve beeld Voert mij zo mild Langs zachte bloemenkusten; En in mijn arm Ontwaakt het warm En gaat met mij ter ruste. Geniet, geniet, Wie jou aanziet, En in jouw hemel aanligt, Wie zoete blik En wenk en knik Tot zoeter kussen nodigt.
