Die schlafende Minna
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Sie schläft  --  Sie fühlt der Unschuld Ruhgefühle. 
Schweigt, Nachtigallen!  Giesbach rausche nicht!  
Buhlt, leise Lüftchen!  Hauchet Kühle 
Auf Minnas glühend Angesicht.  

Du schwebest ungeseh'n um deine Schwester, 
Ihr Schutzgeist!  --  Ich beschwöre dich: 
Laß Sie von Liebe träumen, Bester!  
Erwachen dann  --  und lieben  --  mich!  

Confirmed with Almanach und Taschenbuch für häusliche und gesellschaftliche Freuden, ed.by Ludwig Lang, Frankfurt am Main: Phillipp Heinrich Guilhauman, 1802, page 166. The author is not indicated.
