Laß mit Augen, die halb blind,
Mich in dein Gedenkbuch schreiben:
Bitte Gott, mein liebes Kind!
Noch recht lang' Kind zu bleiben.

Zähle dich noch lange nicht
Zu den Fräulein und den Frauen,
Eine Frühlingsblüte licht
Sei noch lange anzuschauen!

Ach! es kommt so bald die Zeit,
Wo der Frühling ist verschwunden,
Wo es donnert, wo es schneit
Und das Herz trägt tiefe Wunden.
