Ich habe ein kleines Lied erdacht
Und hab' es gesungen hinaus in die Nacht,
Die Wasser der Muhle rauschten
Zwei Vöglein saßen im Lindenbaum,
Verborgen den Kopf im weichen Flaum 
Und lauschten.

Ich weiß nicht, wer es verrathen hat, 
Der Gießbach oder das Lindenblatt, 
Der Nachtwind oder die Meise --
Mein Lied von der Herzenskönigin,
Heut' sang es die schöne Müllerin 
Ganz leise.
