Das schönste Plätzchen
 (Sung text for setting by J. Rufinatscha)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Hier wo vom kühlen Schleier 
Des Ahorns überwebt, 
Am grünumschilften Weiher 
Die Moosbank sich erhebt; 

Wo aus des Weihers Spiegel
Der Abendhimmel glüht,
Und still der Eichenhügel
Aus Duft herüber sieht;

Hier sitz' ich und es wanken
In Zefirs leisem Wehn 
Um mich die Blüthenranken 
Mit flüsterndem Getön. 

O Schätzchen, dem verlangend 
Mein Herz entgegen schlägt,
O sieh, wie traut umfangend
Mich dieses Örtchen hegt.

O komm, geliebtes Schätzchen,
Und ruhe du bei mir,
So ist das schönste Plätzchen 
Des schönen Gartens hier.
