Lasst Lautenspiel und Becherklang nicht rasten, So lang es Zeit ist zu der Jugend Festen Ist Fasching aus, so folgen dann die Fasten. Der Freundin Bild ist in mein Herz geflossen; Die Hand des Schöpfers ewig sei gepriesen, Die mir zum Seh'n das Aug' hat aufgeschlossen. Mir träumt', ich starb, und deine Thränen flossen, Da richtet' ich mich auf und lebte wieder, Der welken Blume gleich, die Tau begossen.
R. Schumann sets stanza 1

Stop 't luitspel niet, noch 't klinken van de gasten, Zolang er tijd is mag de jeugd nog feesten. Na Carnaval, dan volgt meteen de Vasten. Mijn liefjes beeld is in mijn hart ontsproten; De schepper moet ik eeuwig daarvoor loven, Die mij deed zien, mijn ogen heeft ontsloten. Ik droomd', ik stierf, ik zag jouw tranen vloeien; Toen richtt' ik op mij en ik leefde verder; Een slappe bloem, die dauw weer op deed bloeien.
