(Das Mädchen spricht:)
 Mond, hast du auch gesehen,
   Wie mich mein Schatz geküßt?
 Frei muß ich dir gestehen,
   Daß mich das sehr verdrießt.
 
 Auch weiß ich nicht, wie eben
   Das gestern Abend kam,
 Ob ich ihn ihm gegeben,
   Ob er den Kuß sich nahm.

 Du mußt's nicht weiter sagen,
   Ich bitte dich darum,
 Wenn dich die Leute fragen,
   O lieber Mond, sei stumm!

Note: The words "(Das Mädchen spricht:)" are not sung.
