Als ich nachher von dir ging An der großen Heute Sah ich, als ich sehn anfing Lauter lustige Leute. Und seit jener Abendstund Weißt schon, die ich meine Hab ich einen schönern Mund Und geschicktere Beine. Grüner ist, seit ich so fühl Baum und Strauch und Wiese Und das Wasser schöner kühl Wenn ich`s auf mich gieße.
