Leise, leise, laßt uns singen, Still schon zieht der Mond die Bahn, Sternlein süßen Gruß dir bringen. Mög auch uns'rer zu dir dringen, Stimmet d'rum ein Liedchen an: Holde, erwache! Holde, erwache! Höre, höre uns're Weise, Die der Zephir zu dir weht, Die der Minne klingt zum Preise! Öffne doch dein Fenster leise, Unser zartes Liedchen fleht: Holde, erwache! Holde, erwache! Leise, leise laßt uns singen, Schlumm're sanft, wer schlummern will. Möcht' es unserm Spiel gelingen, Nur in ihren Traum zu klingen. Laßt uns rufen, aber still: Fanny, erwache! Fanny, erwache!
