Altfranzösisches Tanzlied
 (Sung text for setting by E. Hildach)
 Matches base text
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Old French (Ancien français) 
O Mädchen, komm und lass uns ziehen
zum schattigen, stillen Hain,
den Augen der Welt zu entfliehen
und selig allein dort zu sein;
dort tanzen wir auf weichen Moosen
mit fröhlichem Kindersinn. 

Und lauschen wir dort der Blätter Rauschen,
der Drossel und der Wachtel Schlag,
lass Küsse uns und Blicke tauschen
am wonnigen Frühlingstag;
ich kränze dein Haar mit Rosen,
Gelbveigelein und Jasmin!
