Choose for Diff
Ach, Elselein, liebes Elselein mein,
Wie gern wär' ich bei dir!
So sind zwei tiefe Wasser,
Wohl zwischen dir und mir.

Das bringt mir große Schmerzen,
Herzallerliebster Gesell;
Red ich von ganzem Herzen
Halt's für groß Ungefäll.

Hoff Zeit werd es wohl enden,
Hoff Glück werd kummen drein,
Sich in all's gut's verwenden,
Herzliebstes Elselein.
