Beglückt, beglückt, Wer dich erblickt, Und deinen Himmel trinket; Wem dein Gesicht Voll Engellicht Den Gruß des Friedens winket. Ein süsser Blick, Ein Wink, ein Nick, Glänzt mir wie Frühlingssonnen; Den ganzen Tag Sinn' ich ihm nach, Und schweb' in Himmelswonnen. Dein holdes Bild Führt mich so mild An sanfter Blumenkette; In meinem Arm Erwacht es warm, Und geht mit mir zu Bette. Beglückt, beglückt, Wer dich erblickt, Und deinen Himmel trinket; Wen süsser Blick Und Wink und Nick Zum süssern Kusse winket.
A. Harder sets stanzas 1-3, 1
