Dem bist du kind, dem freund. Ich seh in dir den Gott Den schauernd ich erkannt Dem meine andacht gilt. Du kamst am lezten tag Da ich von harren siech Da ich des betens müd Mich in die nacht verlor: Du an dem strahl mir kund Der durch mein dunkel floß, Am tritte der die saat Sogleich erblühen ließ.
