Wie lieblich grünt die Wiese
Verklärt vom Sonnenschein!
Wie sieht der Wald daneben
So ernst und dunkel drein!
Und fragst du ob die Wiese,
Den Wald ich liebe mehr?
So wiss', ich liebe beide,
So Wald wie Wiese, sehr!

Die Blonde und die Braune
Sind beide, ach, so hold!
Die Eine wenn sie lächelt,
Die andre wenn sie schmollt!
Die Blonde oder Braune,
Sprich, welche liebst du mehr?
Und sieh', ich lieb die Blonde
Und lieb die Braune sehr!
