Die viel Süsse, Wohlgetane<br />

Frei von allem Wandel gar,<br />

Lasse mich im lieben Wahne,<br />

Bis es endlich werde wahr,<br />

Dass die Freude lange währe,<br />

Dass ich weinend nicht erwache,<br />

Noch dem Trost entgegenlache<br />

Und der Huld, die ich begehre.<br />

Translation:<br />

In the forest, small birdies<br />

sing sweet notes<br />

On the heath, beautiful<br />

flowers blossom in May<br />

In the same way, my spirit blossoms<br />

when I think of her goodness<br />

which enriches my soul<br />

like a dream the poor.<br />

Hope has set my sights<br />

on high things<br />

That I might succeed for her<br />

That a sweet lot will fall to me<br />

I am glad of this hope<br />

May God grant that I can stop this<br />

That she will not turn this fantasy<br />

in which I delight<br />

The Very Sweet One, the Good One,<br />

free of any fickleness<br />

Please leave my to my imaginations<br />

until they become truth<br />

that I will not wake up weeping<br />

but be happy at the solace<br />

and the grace which I long for.<br />
