Preislied: Gewissheit
 (Sung text for setting by F. Abt)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
  Nun weiß ich's für ewig! 
Und kann es denn sein?
Daß mein du, o Holde, 
Wahrhaftig nun mein?
  Das Herz will mir brechen 
Vor Wonn' und vor Lust!
Daß Liebe so drückend, 
Ich hab's nicht gewusst!

  Ach, wenn ich's mag sagen, 
Ich Keinen ja find',
Der's gänzlich verstünde,
Wie glücklich wir sind!
  So will ich denn gehen 
Hinaus in den Wald,
Da lauschen die Blumen, 
Die Vögel mir bald!

  Will künden dem Winde, 
Dem frischen, mein Glück,
Daß treulich er bringe
Mein Lied dir zurück:
  Nun weiß ich's für ewig! 
Und kann es denn sein,
Daß mein du, o Holde, 
Wahrhaftig nun mein!
