[Am]1 stillen Hain, Im [Abendschein]2, Wenn der Himmel sich röthet, [Die]3 Nachtigall flötet, Gedenk' ich dein. [Bey]4 Mondenschein, Am nahen Hain, Den die Käfer [umschwirren]5, [Die]6 Täubchen durchgirren, Gedenk' ich dein. Ich geh' im Hain Wohl ganz allein, Und seh keine Bäume, Und [hänge]7 und träume Von dir allein. --
