Ständchen

Rosen und duftende Veilchen
    Bring ich fein Liebchen dir!
O nur ein kleines Weilchen,
    Neige dich her zu mir.

Lass meiner Zither Töne
    Klagen dir all meinen Schmerz.
Nimm sie, du Holde, du Schöne,
    Nimm sie liebreich an das Herz.

Sieh wie der Mond am Himmel
    Leuchtet in stiller Pracht,
Stumm ist der Menschen Getümmel,
    Lautlos und duftig die Nacht.

Könnt' ich dem tiefen Schweigen,
    Das uns traulich umgiebt,
Könnt' ich mein Herze dir zeigen,
    Wüßtest du, wie es dich liebt.
