Zierlich ist des Vogels Tritt im Schnee, Wenn er wandelt [auf]1 des Berges Höh': [Zierlicher schreibt]2 Liebchens liebe Hand, Schreibt ein Brieflein mir in ferne Land'. In die Lüfte hoch [ein]3 Reiher steigt, Dahin weder Pfeil noch Kugel [fleugt]4: [Tausendmal]5 so hoch und so geschwind Die Gedanken treuer Liebe sind.
