1. Ich grolle nicht, und wenn das Herz auch bricht  [sung text not yet checked]
Ich grolle nicht, und wenn das Herz auch bricht, Ewig verlor'nes Lieb, ich grolle nicht. Wie du auch strahlst in Diamantenpracht, Es fällt kein Strahl in deines Herzens Nacht. Das weiß ich längst. Ich grolle nicht, und wenn das Herz auch bricht, Ich sah dich ja im [Traum]1, Und sah die Nacht in deines Herzens [Raum]2, Und sah die Schlang', die dir am Herzen frißt, Ich sah, mein Lieb, wie sehr du elend bist.

2. Ja, du bist elend und ich grolle nicht  [sung text not yet checked]
Ja, du bist elend, und ich grolle nicht; Mein Lieb, wir sollen beide elend sein! Bis uns der Tod das kranke Herze bricht, Mein Lieb, wir sollen beide elend sein! Wohl seh ich Spott, der deinen Mund umschwebt, Und seh dein Auge blitzen trotziglich, Und seh den Stolz, der deinen Busen hebt, Und elend bist du doch, elend wie ich. Unsichtbar zuckt auch Schmerz um deinen Mund, Verborgne Träne trübt des Auges Schein, Der stolze Busen hegt geheime Wund, Mein Lieb, wir sollen beide elend sein!
