Der reif hatt' einen weißen schein
Mir übers haar gestreuet
Da glaubt' ich schon ein greis zu sein
Und hab' mich sehr gefreuet
Doch bald ist er hinweggetaut
Hab' wieder schwarze haare
Daß mir's vor meiner jugend graut
Wie weit noch bis zur bahre!
Vom abendrot zum morgenlicht
Ward mancher kopf zum greise
Wer glaubt's? Und meiner ward es nicht
Auf dieser ganzen reise
