Leise [zieht]1 durch mein Gemüth Liebliches Geläute. Klinge, kleines Frühlingslied, Kling' hinaus in's Weite. [Kling']2 hinaus bis an das Haus, Wo die [Blumen]3 sprießen. Wenn du eine Rose schaust, Sag' ich lass' sie grüßen.

3. Nacht liegt auf den fremden Wegen  [sung text not yet checked]
Nacht liegt auf den fremden Wegen, – Krankes Herz und müde Glieder; – Ach, da fließt, wie stiller Segen, Süßer Mond, dein Licht hernieder. Süßer Mond, mit deinen Strahlen Scheuchest du das nächt’ge Grauen; Es zerrinnen meine Qualen, Und die Augen überthauen.

4. Wo ich bin, mich rings umdunkelt  [sung text not yet checked]
Wo ich bin, mich rings umdunkelt Finsterniß so dumpf und dicht, Seit mir nicht mehr leuchtend funkelt, Liebste, deiner Augen Licht. [Mir]1 erloschen ist der süßen Liebessterne goldne Pracht, Abgrund gähnt zu meinen Füßen. Nimm mich auf, uralte Nacht.

1 Strauss: "Wie"5. Aus alten Märchen winkt es  [sung text not yet checked]
Aus alten Märchen winkt es Hervor mit weißer Hand, Da singt es und da klingt es Von einem Zauberland; Wo bunte Blumen blühen Im gold'nen Abendlicht, Und lieblich duftend glühen, Mit bräutlichem Gesicht; Und grüne Bäume singen Uralte Melodei'n, Die Lüfte heimlich klingen, Und Vögel schmettern drein; Und Nebelbilder steigen Wohl aus der Erd' hervor, Und tanzen luft'gen Reigen Im wunderlichen Chor; Und blaue Funken brennen An jedem Blatt und Reis, Und rote Lichter rennen Im irren, wirren Kreis; Und laute Quellen brechen Aus wildem Marmorstein. Und seltsam in den Bächen Strahlt fort der Widerschein. Ach, könnt' ich dorthin kommen, Und dort mein Herz erfreu'n, Und aller Qual entnommen, Und frei und selig sein! Ach! jenes Land der Wonne, Das seh' ich oft im Traum, Doch kommt die Morgensonne, Zerfließt's wie eitel Schaum.
