Spinn', Mägdlein, spinn! So wachsen dir die Sinn'! Wachsen dir die gelben Haar', Kommen dir die klugen Jahr', Spinn, Mägdlein, spinn! ... Sing', Mägdlein, sing' Und sei fein guter Ding'; Fang dein Spinnen lustig an, Mach' ein frommes End' daran. Lern', Mägdlein, lern', So hast du Glück und Stern, Lerne bei dem Spinnen fort Gottesfurcht und Gotteswort. ... Lob', Mägdlein, lob', Dem Schöpfer halte Prob', Daß dir Glaub' und Hoffnung wachs', Wie dein Garn und wie dein Flachs. Dank', Mägdlein, dank' Dem Herrn, daß du nicht krank, Daß du kannst fein oft und viel Treiben dieses Rockenspiel. Dank', Mägdlein, dank'!

Spin, meisje, spin! Zo groeit verstand en zin; Terwijl groeit je blonde haar, Word je slimmer met het jaar! Spin, meisje, spin! ... Zing, meisje, zing En wees een aardig ding; Vang je spinnen vrolijk aan, Maak een keurig eind daaraan. Leer, meisje, leer, Zo krijg geluk je meer; Leer ook spinnend, zo het hoort, Godsvrucht en het godd'lijk woord. ... Prijs, meisje, prijs, Wilg in je scheppers eis, Je geloof en hoop groei' ras Als je garen en je vlas. Dank, meisje, dank De Heer: je bent niet krank, En je kunt -- een fijne stiel - Draaien dit mooi spinnewiel. Dank, meisje, dank.
