1. Sie liebten sich beide  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
  Sie liebten sich beide, doch keiner
Wollt' es dem andern gestehn;

Und wollten vor Liebe vergehn.

Nur noch zuweilen im Traum;
Sie waren [längst]2 gestorben
Und wußten es selber kaum.

2. Ich will meine Seele tauchen  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich will meine Seele tauchen
In den Kelch der Lilie hinein;
Die Lilie soll [klingend]1 hauchen
Ein Lied von der Liebsten mein.

Das Lied soll [schauern]2 und beben
Wie der Kuß von ihrem Mund,
Den sie mir einst gegeben
In wunderbar süßer Stund'.

3. Der Geliebten Augen  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wie ihre lieben Augen
Heut' so verweinet sind!
Wer konnte dich betrüben,
Du liebes, süßes Kind!

Magst lachen oder weinen,
Wie immer hold du bist;
Der Himmel bleibt der Himmel,
Wenn er auch wolkig ist.
