Komm, liebe Zither

Komm, liebe Zither, komm, du Freundin stiller Liebe,
Du sollst auch meine Freundin sein.
Komm, dir vertraue ich die geheimsten meiner Triebe,
Nur dir vertrau ich meine Pein.

Sag' ihr an meiner Statt, ich darf's ihr noch nicht sagen,
Wie ihr so ganz mein Herz gehört.
Sag' ihr an meiner Statt, ich darf's ihr noch nicht klagen,
Wie sich für sie mein Herz verzehrt.
