Süß duftende Lindenblüthe
in quellender Juninacht.
Eine Wonne aus meinem Gemüthe
ist mir in Sinnen erwacht.
 
Als klänge vor meinen Ohren
leise das Lied vom Glück,
als töne, die lange verloren,
die Jugend leise zurück.
 
Süß duftende Lindenblüthe
in quellender Juninacht.
Eine Wonne aus meinem Gemüthe
ist mir zu Schmerzen erwacht.
