'Frauenhaar' trag' ich am Hute,
Wie Flachs so weich, wie Seide so fein,
Flirrfädelnd spinnt's im Sonnenschein,
Flott flatterts in den Wind hinein,
Ich trag' es mit fröhlichem Mute,
Und denke dein,
Mein Seidenhaar,
Die meine Sonne, mein Sehnen war,
Mein Leben in bebendem Blute,
Du Weiche, du Heilige, du Gute.
