Im Thurme
 (Sung text for setting by H. Huller)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Seit Monden wohl, seit langen, 
Gretlin, gedenk ich dein,
Nun hab' ich dich gefangen,
Gretlin, nun bist du mein!

Es ging von deinen Handen 
Mein Herz ohn' Schlüßlein auf! 
Lug' aus nach allen Landen
Bergunter und bergauf:

Hier herrsch' ich über die Erden 
In Sonnenschein und Sturm --
Magst du mein Schwälblein werden 
Und nisten hoch im Thurm?

Mein Haus ist hoch erhaben,
Mein Werk ist hoch gestellt --
Und lieber kunnt' keiner haben 
Dich drunten auf der Welt.
