4. Mondaufgang  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Schatten liegt auf allen Wegen,
Tief verschleiert kommt der Mond;
Sieh, da strömt ihm voll entgegen,
Was geheim im Herzen wohnt.
Und wie er des Meeres Wellen
Aus dem Schoß hebt, wo sie ruhten,
Macht er meine Tränen schwellen
Und ihr Bette überfluten.

5. Sehnsucht  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Um bei dir zu sein,
Trüg ich Not und Fährde,
Ließ ich Freund und Haus
Und die Fülle der Erde.

Mich verlangt nach dir,
Wie die Flut nach dem Strande,
Wie die Schwalbe im Herbst
Nach dem südlichen Lande;

Wie den Alpsohn heim,
Wenn er denkt, Nachts alleine
An die Berge voll Schnee
Im Mondenscheine.

7. Nur wer die Sehnsucht kennt  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Nur wer die Sehnsucht kennt
Weiß, was ich leide!
Allein und abgetrennt
Von aller Freude
[Seh]1 ich an's Firmament
Nach [jener]2 Seite.
[Ach, der]3 mich liebt [und kennt]4,
Ist in der Weite.
Es [schwindelt]5 mir, es brennt
Mein Eingeweide.
Nur wer die Sehnsucht kennt
Weiß, was ich leide!
