Du bist wie eine Blume [So hold und schön und rein;]1 Ich schau' dich an, und Wehmut Schleicht mir ins Herz hinein. Mir ist, als ob [ich]2 die Hände Aufs Haupt [dir]3 legen sollt', [Betend]4, daß [Gott dich]5 erhalte [So rein und schön und hold.]6
Lieder und Gesänge , opus 2

Du hast Diamanten und Perlen, Hast alles, was Menschenbegehr, Und hast die schönsten Augen - Mein Liebchen, was willst du mehr? Auf deine schönen Augen Hab ich ein ganzes Heer Von ewigen Liedern gedichtet - Mein Liebchen, was willst du mehr? Mit deinen schönen Augen Hast du mich gequält so sehr, Und hast mich zu Grunde gerichtet - Mein Liebchen, was willst du mehr?
