1. Aus meinen Tränen sprießen [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch)

Aus meinen Tränen sprießen
Viel blühende Blumen hervor,
Und meine Seufzer werden
Ein Nachtigallenchor.

Und wenn du mich lieb hast, Kindchen,
Schenk' ich dir die Blumen all',
Und vor deinem Fenster soll klingen
Das Lied der Nachtigall.

3. Und wüßten's die Blumen, die kleinen [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch)

Und wüßten's die Blumen, die kleinen,
Wie tief verwundet mein Herz,
Sie würden mit mir weinen,
Zu heilen meinen Schmerz.

Und wüßten's die Nachtigallen,
Wie ich so traurig und krank,
Sie ließen fröhlich erschallen
Erquickenden Gesang.

Und wüßten sie mein Wehe,
Die [goldnen]¹ Sternelein,
Sie kämen aus ihrer Höhe,
Und sprächen Trost mir ein.

[Die]² alle können's nicht wissen,
Nur [eine]³ kennt meinen Schmerz;
[Sie]⁴ hat ja selbst zerrissen,
Zerrissen mir das Herz.
