   Gute Nacht mein Leid,
Meine Einsamkeit,
Fahrt wohl ihr geheimen Sorgen
Denn der Morgen wacht
Und die Liebe lacht
Und die Liebe ja wandert am Morgen.

   Du verschwiegner Wald,
Grüner Aufenthalt
Meiner Lieder und meiner Träume,
Schreib sie alle ein
In die Blätter dein,
An die lustigen, rauschenden Bäume.

   Meine Liebe geht
Zwischen Wald und Beet,
Über Wiesen und Berg' und Wellen.
Fliege mit mir aus,
Du mein ganzes Haus,
Ihr gesunden kleinen Gesellen,

   Was da wandern kann,
Schließe mit sich an,
An mein lustiges Haus-Gesinde!
Was da liebt hinein
In den Sonnenschein,
All' ihr Fluten, ihr Wolken, und Winde!
