Spinn', Mägdlein, spinn!
So wachsen dir die Sinn'!
Wachsen dir die gelben Haar',
Kommen dir die klugen Jahr',
Spinn, Mägdlein, spinn!

 ... 

Sing', Mägdlein, sing'
Und sei fein guter Ding';
Fang dein Singen lustig an,
Mach' ein frommes End' daran.

Lern', Mägdlein, lern',
So hast du Glück und Stern,
Lerne bei dem Spinnen fort
Gottesfurcht und Gotteswort.

 ...
