Leuchtendes Auge, Du meine Sonne, 
Du meines Lebens strahlende Pracht, 
Engel des Himmels, Lust mir und Wonne, 
Stern, der mich freundlich hat angelacht! 
Meine Marie, ich gesteh' es Dir leis', 
Wie ich Dich liebe, so glühend und heiß. 

Könnt' ich ein Wort Deiner Liebe erhalten, 
Das mir Dein purpurner Mund gesteht; 
Rose der Liebe, wirst Du Dich entfalten, 
Eh' noch der Glanz meines Daseins verweht?  --  
Wie ist so nachtumhüllt doch mein Geschick!  
Gönne, Marie, mir nur einen Blick!
