Zu der Rose, zu dem Weine komm!

Zu der Rose, zu dem Weine komm!
Her zu diesem stillen Haine komm!

Mild zu stillen meiner Sehnsucht Ach,
Denn es rührt ja selbst die Steine, komm!

Hold zu hemmen meiner Zähre Bach,
Die ich schon so lange weine, komm!

Mir zu spenden hier im Laubgemach
Edens Heil in aller Reine, komm!

Bald, o bald, daß nicht in Asche jach
Falle mein verkohlt Gebeine, komm!

Aber erst, wenn Tag und Sonne schwach,
Aber heimlich und alleine komm!
