Lieb' und Lob der Schönen
 (Sung text for setting by H. Nägeli)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich will das Herz mein Leben lang
An Lieb' und Lob der Schönen
Und meine Laute, meinen Sang
An Lieb' und Lob gewöhnen.

Denn lange, lange hat es schon
Anakreon erprobet:
Nichts bringt dem Sänger süßern Lohn,
Als wenn er liebt und lobet.

 ... 

Wolan, o Laute, stimme dich
Zu Lob- und Liebessange!
Kein Mädchenherz verschließe sich
Vor deinem Zauberklange.
