An einer Freundin Geburtstag
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Der Freundschaft treue Gabe
bringt dies kleine Lied dir dar,
und mancher Wunsch die Brust durchdringt,
zwar still, doch herzlich wahr.

Ich gebe, was dir längst gehört,
mein Herz, zu Eigen dir.
Das Glück, das deine Wonne mehrt,
ist Glück und Wonne  mir.

Ich freue dieses Tages mich,
weil er dich einst mir gab
und, liebe, holde Freundin, dich
gewiss bis in das Grab.
