Dein blaues Auge hält so still, Ich blicke bis zum Grund. Du fragst mich, was ich sehen will? Ich sehe mich gesund. Es brannte mich ein glühend Paar, Noch schmerzt das Nachgefühl; Das deine ist wie See so klar Und wie ein See so kühl.
Ich und Du

2. Ich und Du  [sung text checked 1 time]
Wir träumten von einander Und sind davon erwacht, Wir leben, um uns zu lieben, Und sinken zurück in die Nacht. Du tratst aus meinem Traume, Aus deinem trat ich hervor, Wir sterben, wenn sich Eines Im Andern ganz verlor. Auf einer Lilie zittern Zwei Tropfen, rein und rund, Zerfließen in Eins und rollen Hinab in des Kelches Grund.

3. Mondnacht  [sung text checked 1 time]
Es war, als [hätt']1 der Himmel, Die Erde still geküßt, Daß sie im Blütenschimmer Von ihm [nun]2 träumen müßt. Die Luft ging durch die Felder, Die Ähren wogten sacht, Es rauschten leis die Wälder, So sternklar war die Nacht. Und meine Seele spannte Weit ihre Flügel aus, Flog [durch]3 die stillen [Lande]4, Als flöge sie nach Haus.
