Auf einem grünen Hügel
  Da steht ein Röslein hell,
Und wenn ich roth, roth Röslein seh' --
So roth wie lauter Liebe --
  Möcht' weinen ich zur Stell'!

Auf einem grünen Hügel
  Da stehn zwei Blümlein blau,
Und wenn ich blau, blau Blümlein seh' --
So blau, wie blaue Äuglein,
  Durch Thränen ich sie schau'!

 ... 

Auf einem grünen Hügel
  Da singt ein Vögelein;
Mir ist's, als säng's: Wer niemals Leid --
Recht großes Leid erfahren,
  Wird nie recht glücklich sein!
