by Karl Stieler (1842 - 1885)

Seit Monden wohl, seit langen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Seit Monden wohl, seit langen, 
Gretlin, gedenk ich dein,
Nun hab' ich dich gefangen,
Gretlin, nun bist du mein!

Es ging [vor]1 deinen Handen 
Mein Herz ohn' Schlüßlein auf! 
Lug' aus nach allen Landen
Bergunter und bergauf:

Hier herrsch' ich über die Erden 
In Sonnenschein und Sturm --
Magst du mein Schwälblein werden 
Und nisten [auf meinem]2 Thurm?

Mein Haus ist hoch erhaben,
Mein Werk ist hoch gestellt --
Und lieber kunnt' keiner haben 
Dich drunten [in]3 der Welt.
