Der See [ruht]1 tief im [blauen]2 Traum Von Wasserblumen zugedeckt; Ihr Vöglein hoch im [Fichtenbaum]3, Daß ihr [mir]4 nicht den Schläfer weckt! Doch leise weht das Schilf und wiegt Das Haupt mit leichtem Sinn; Ein blauer Falter aber fliegt Darüber einsam hin!

2. Mainacht  [sung text not yet checked]
Es blühen und glühen die Rosen, Wie rothe Flammen am Strauch, Die Abendwinde umkosen Die Rose mit schmeichelndem Hauch. Violen duften und Flieder Mit süß berauschender Macht, Und flötende Nachtigalllieder Durchfluten die weiche Nacht. Das ist die heimliche Stunde, Wo leise vom Himmel steigt Der Lenz und mit küssendem Munde Zur blühenden Erde sich neigt.
