Ist dir ein getreues,
  Liebevolles Kind bescheert,
Fest am Herzen halt' es, 
  Fühle seinen ganzen Werth!

Ruhst du ihm am Busen,
  Hangst du ihm am Munde süß,
Frage nicht, was Edens
  Wonnesaal für Heil gewährt!

Dieser Erde Dunkel,
  weiß davon ein liebend Herz?
Nachtigallenaugen 
  Ist die ganze Welt verklärt.
