Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen

Mit der ich sonst viele Zeit verdorben

Sie hat so lange nichts von mir vernommen

Sie mag wohl glauben, ich sei gestorben!

 

Es ist mir auch gar nichts daran gelegen

Ob sie mich für gestorben hält.

Ich kann auch gar nichts sagen dagegen

Denn wirklich bin ich gestorben der Welt.

 

Ich bin gestorben dem Weltgetümmel

Und ruh' in einem stillen Gebiet!

Ich leb' allein in meinem Himmel

In meinem Lieben, in meinem Lied!
