Liebe Eltern gute Nacht!
Ich soll wieder von euch scheiden,
Kaum war ich zur Welt gebracht,
Hab genossen keine Freuden,
Ich das kleinste eurer Glieder,
Geh schon fort, doch nicht allein,
Eltern, Schwestern, und die Brüder,
Werden auch bald bei mir seyn,
Weil sie wünschen, bitten, weinen,
Daß ihr Tag mag bald erscheinen.
