O Sterne, goldne Sterne!
Wohl scheint ihr wunderlicht;
Doch wie die Äugelein scheinen
Von der Herzigen, von der Meinen,
Wenn sie sagt: "Ich hab' dich so gerne!"
So scheint ihr nicht.

O Sonne, goldne Sonne!
Wohl hast du ein scharf Gesicht;
Du miß'st mit einem Strahle
So viel tausend Gebirg und Tale.
Doch die Wonne, o meine Wonne --
Die miß'st du nicht.
