Seh' ich in das stille Thal,
Wo im Sonnenscheine
Blumen prangen ohne Zahl,
Blick' ich nur auf Eine. 
 ... 

Tret' ich an mein Fensterlein,
Wann die Sterne scheinen,
Mögen alle schöner seyn,
Blick' ich nur auf Einen;
 ... 

 ... 
Ach! es blickt Ihr Auge blau
Jezt auch auf die Auen;
Im Vergißmeinnicht voll Thau
Kann ich es erschauen.

 ... 
Dort gen Abend blickt Er mild
Wohl nach Himmelshöhen,
Denn dort ist ein liebes Bild
In dem Stern zu sehen.
