"Liebster! Liebster! Schläfst du noch? Liebster! Liebster! Höre doch! Ein Vöglein flog in die Linde vor Tag, weckte mich; hör, was es singen mag." "Was weckst du mich, ich schlief noch tief. hörte, wie eine Stimme rief; Waffen und Kampf! Liebe und Leid reiten zusammen, enges Geleit." Da weinte die Süsse, sie sah ihn an: "All meine Freude, liebster Mann, sag, wann kommst du wieder zu mir? All meine Freude reitet mit dir."
