Mag da draußen Schnee sich türmen, Mag es hageln, mag es stürmen, Klirrend [an mein Fenster]1 schlagen, Nimmer will ich mich beklagen! Denn ich trage in der Brust Liebchens Bild und Frühlingslust.

1 Raff: "mir ans Fenster"

Muß ich in der Wüste hausen, In der Wildniß, in der grausen, Wo nur Sand und Sonne glühen, Lieblich wird es in mir blühen! Denn, ich trage in der Brust Liebchens Bild und Frühlings Lust! Ob die Nacht mit ihren Schauern, Ob Gefahren mich umlauern, Ob sie dräuen, ob sie wüten, Wird ein Engel mich behüten! Denn, ich trage in der Brust Liebchens Bild und Frühlings Lust!
