Das Täubchen girret 
  Im Reisignest, 
Durch Primeln irret
  Ein linder West,
Im Haine singet 
  Die Nachtigall,
Und Lieb' erklinget 
  Allüberall.

Dein Fenster blinket 
  Im Purpurschein,
Dein Trauter winket,
  O stell dich ein!  
Komm, komm hernieder,
  Es glänzt so hold
Der Laube Flieder 
  Im Abendgold!
