Ein recht Gemüt
 (Sung text for setting by L. Reichardt)

Ein recht Gemüt
Springt mit den Nachtigallen
Auf manche Blüt,
Und freuet sich an allen!
Von einem Zweig
Will manche einzeln schallen,
Nicht all zu gleich
Wie Saat der Menschen wallen.

Doch was vermag
Ein wallend Herz zu stören?
Nicht Trommelschlag!
Zum Trotz sie schlägt in Chören.
Nicht Kukussic Ruf,
Von Kindern oft befraget,
Kein Schlag vom Huf,
Der über Wiesen jaget.

Nichts störet sie,
Nur heller muß sie singen,
Da höret sie
Den Widerhall erklingen;
Ist voll das Herz,
So geht der Mund wohl über,
Und Lust und Schmerz,
Wird da unendlich lieber.
