Ich hab' im [Traum]1 geweinet, Mir träumte, du lägest im Grab. Ich wachte auf, und die Träne Floß noch von der Wange herab. Ich hab' im [Traum]1 geweinet, Mir träumt', du verließest mich. Ich wachte auf, [und ich weinte]2 Noch lange bitterlich. Ich hab' im [Traum]1 geweinet, Mir träumte, du [wär'st mir noch]3 gut. Ich wachte auf, und noch immer [Strömt meine Tränenflut]4.

2. Lied  [sung text not yet checked]
Ich stand in [dunkeln]1 Träumen Und [starrte]2 ihr Bildniß an, Und das geliebte Antlitz Heimlich zu leben begann. Um ihre Lippen zog sich Ein Lächeln wunderbar, Und wie von Wehmuthsthränen [Erglänzte]3 [ihr]4 Augenpaar. Auch meine Thränen flossen Mir von [den Wangen]5 herab -- Und ach, ich [kann es]6 nicht glauben, Daß ich Dich verloren hab'!

3. Ewige Nähe  [sung text checked 1 time]
Heller ward mein inn'res Leben, Schöner, seit ich dich erkannt, Seit ein gleiches hohes Streben Herz mit Herz so eng verband. Meine Lieder, wie mein Fühlen, Alles hab' ich dir geweiht. Nichts konnt' meine Liebe kühlen, Keine Trennung und kein Leid! Und doch soll ich dir entsagen, Dir, mein [heller]1 Lebensstern, Soll die tiefe Nacht ertragen, [Dass du mir]2 auf ewig fern! Nein, ach nein, so darf's nicht werden, [Nein, ach nein]3, es darf kein Abschied sein. Ob getrennt, ob [nah]4 auf Erden, Hier im Herzen bleibst du mein!

Note to line 14: There is a typo in the published Lang score ("noch" instead of "nah"). This error is not found in her manuscript copy of the song. It has been corrected in more recent publications and above. However, since all the other composers who have set this text got it from Lang's score, the error persists in their settings.
On the Baroni-Cavalcabo score the poet is given as "N. B . . . n. Marie König's song has no poet. Both Lang and Voss give the poet as "A.v.C."

4. Das Posthorn  [sung text checked 1 time]
Das Posthorn schmettert, die Peitsche knallt; Mir wird so weh um's Herz! Sie fahren dahin, der Ton [verhallt]1; [Verhalle]2 nun auch, mein Schmerz! Sobald die linden Lüfte wehn, Werd' ich sie Alle wiedersehn, Die [ich]3 geliebt, Die [mich]4 geliebt. Ich möchte wohl einst so begraben sein Vom blasenden Postillon; Nach jenem Land so still und [rein]5 [Sehn']6 ich mich lange schon. Sobald die linden Lüfte wehn, Werd' ich sie Alle wiedersehn, Die [ich]3 geliebt, Die [mich]4 geliebt.
