O liebliche Wangen

O liebliche Wangen,
Ihr macht mir Verlangen,
Dies rote, dies weiße 
Zu schauen mit Fleiße.
Und dies nur alleine 
Ist's nicht, das ich meine;
Zu schauen, zu grüssen,
Zu rühren, zu küssen!
Ihr macht mir Verlangen,
O liebliche Wangen!

O Sonne der Wonne!
O Wonne der Sonne!
O Augen, so saugen
Das Licht meiner Augen.
O englische Sinnen!
O himmlisch Beginnen!
O Himmel auf Erden,
Magst du mir nicht werden,
O Wonne der Sonne!
O Sonne der Wonne!

O Schönste der Schönen!
Benimm mir dies Sehnen,
Komm, eile, komm, komme,
Du süße, du fromme!
Ach, Schwester, ich sterbe,
Ich sterb', ich verderbe,
Komm, tröste, komm, heile,
Benimm mir dies Sehnen,
O Schönste der Schönen!
