Hinterm Berge, dort, dem grünen, Tönt ein heller Schrei zu Zeiten, Knabe geht, zu forschen. Ist ein Mädchen angebunden Fest an einem Seidenfädchen. Und sie fleht zum ... Knaben: "Bind mich los, du Heldenjüngling, Schwesterchen will ich dir sein!" ... : "Hab' 'ne Schwester schon zu Hause!" -- "Bind mich los, du Heldenjüngling, Schwägerin will ich dir sein!" -- ... : "Hab' 'ne Schwäg'rin schon zu Hause!" -- "Binde los mich, Heldenjüngling, Liebchen will ich dir dann sein!" -- Und es küßte sie der Knabe, Küßte sie, und sie erlösend, Führt' er sie zum ... Hause.
