Noo laughèn child a-cloth'd in white,

Look'd drough the stwonèn window's light,

An' noo vaïce zung, in dusky night,

Below the linden on the lawn.

An' zoo, if you should ever vind

My kindness seem to grow less kind,

An' if upon my clouded feäce

My smile should yield a frown its pleäce,

Then, Jenny, only laugh an' call

My mind 'ithin the geärden wall,
