Er:
Du kannst mir glauben, liebes Herz,
geh dich am Bronnen frischen,
wenn heut die Stern am Himmel sind,
komm ich zu dir, mein schönes Kind,
da denkst du nicht der Schmerzen im Herzen.

Geh hin und nimm ein kühles Bad,
tu dich im Tau erlaben,
wenn Feuer und Stroh beisammen sind,
den Schnee darzwischen treibt der Wind,
so muss es dennoch brennen, ja brennen.
