Eia, fröhliche Anschauung, eia lieblicher Gruß, Eia, minnigliche Umarmung! O möchtest du meiner Seele sagen: Du bist mein Lagerkissen, mein minnigliches Bette, meine heimlichste Ruh´, mein tiefstes Begehren. Du bist eine Lust meiner Gottheit, du bist ein Trost meiner Menscheit, ein Bach meiner Glut.
