Wenn du, mein Liebster, steigst zum Himmel auf, Trag' ich mein Herz dir in der Hand entgegen. So liebevoll umarmst du mich darauf, Dann woll'n wir uns dem Herrn zu Füßen legen. Und sieht der Herrgott unsre Liebesschmerzen, Macht er Ein Herz aus zwei verliebten Herzen, Zu Einem Herzen fügt er zwei zusammen, Im Paradies, umglänzt von Himmelsflammen.
