Hab' oft im Kreise der Lieben
  In duftigem Grase geruht,
Und mir ein Liedlein gesungen,
  Und alles war hübsch und gut.

Hab' einsam auch mich gehärmet
  In bangem, düsterem Muth,
Und habe wieder gesungen,
  Und alles war wieder gut.

Und manches, was ich erfahren,
  Verkocht' ich in stiller Wuth,
Und kam ich wieder zu singen,
  War alles auch wieder gut.

Sollst nicht uns lange klagen,
  Was alles dir wehe thut,
Nur frisch, nur frisch gesungen!
  Und alles wird wieder gut.

Note: Speyer has a typo in stanza 4, line 2, word 5 ("that" instead of "thut").
