8. Sei mir gegrüßt [sung text not yet checked]
Sei mir gegrüßt, du große, Geheimnisvolle Stadt, Die einst in ihrem Schoße Mein Liebchen umschlossen hat. Sagt an, ihr Türme und Tore, Wo ist die Liebste mein? Euch hab ich sie anvertrauet, Ihr solltet mir Bürge sein. Unschuldig sind die Türme, Sie konnten nicht von der Stell, Als Liebchen mit Koffern und Schachteln Die Stadt verlassen so schnell. Die Tore jedoch, die ließen Mein Liebchen entwischen gar still; Ein Tor ist immer willig, Wenn eine Törin will.
