Ein Reiter durch das Bergtal zieht, Im traurig stillen Trab: "Ach! zieh ich jetzt wohl in Liebchens Arm, Oder zieh ich ins dunkle Grab?" Die Bergstimm Antwort gab: "Ins dunkle Grab!" Und weiter reitet der Reitersmann, Und seufzet schwer dazu: "So zieh ich denn hin ins Grab so früh - Wohlan, im Grab ist Ruh!" Die Stimme sprach dazu: "Im Grab ist Ruh!" Dem Reitersmann eine Träne rollt Von der [Wange]1 kummervoll: "Und ist nur im Grab die Ruhe für mich - So ist mir im Grabe wohl." Die [Stimme]2 erwidert hohl: "Im Grabe wohl!"
