Morgen muß ich weg von hier
Und muß Abschied nehmen;
O du allerschönste Zier,
Scheiden das bringt Grämen.
Da ich dich so treu geliebt
Über alle Maßen,
Soll ich dich verlassen.
Wenn zwei gute Freunde sind,
Die einander kennen,
Sonn' und Mond bewegen sich,
Ehe sie sich trennen.
Noch viel größer ist der Schmerz,
Wenn ein treu verliebtes Herz
In die Fremde ziehet.
...
Küsset dir ein Lüftelein
Wangen oder Hände,
Denke, daß es Seufzer sein,
Die ich zu dir sende:
Tausend schick' ich täglich aus,
Die da wehen um dein Haus,
Weil ich dein gedenke.

Morgen moet ik weg van hier,
Moet ik van jou scheiden.
O jij, mooier dan saffier,
Scheiden, dat doet lijden.
Al heb ik jou trouw bemind,
Vurig, bovenmate,
‘k Moet je toch verlaten.
Als er twee bevriend zeer zijn,
Elkaar kennen beiden,
Zon en maan gaan eerder weg
Dan dat zij gaan scheiden.
Nog veel groter is ’t verdriet,
Als een trouwe favoriet
Naar den vreemde wegtrekt.
