Ist der Himmel davon im Lenz so blau,
Daß er auf die blumige Erde schaut?,
Oder so blumig die Erde im Lenz,
Weil darüber der sonnige Himmel blaut?

Hab' ich so lieb dich, mein Kind, so lieb,
Weil du gar so lieblich und reizend bist,
Oder bist du so reizend nur,
Weil die Liebe ins Herz dir gekommen ist?
