Ich sitze hier
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich sitze hier
Vor meiner Thür
Und greif' in meine [Zither,]1
Es schmecket mir
Mein Kännchen Bier
Dabei fürwahr nicht bitter.
 
Und werd' ich trüb',
So kommt mein Lieb
Gar leis [einhergeschlichen,]2
Fragt, was mich schmerzt,
Und küßt und herzt,
Da ist mein Schmerz gewichen.
 
Dann nehm' ich warm,
Sie in den Arm
Und sing' ihr süße Lieder;
Sie gibt wohl Acht
Und scherzt und lacht.
Und drückt mich froh an's Mieder.
