Lieb Liebchen, leg s Hndchen aufs Herze mein; -Ach, hrst du, wies pochet im Kmmerlein,Da hauset ein Zimmermann schlimm und arg,Der zimmert mir einen Totensarg.Es hmmert und klopfet bei Tag und bei Nacht;Es hat mich schon lngst um den Schlaf gebracht.Ach! sputet Euch, Meister Zimmermann,Damit ich balde schlafen kann.
