2. Mai  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Mit Sturmwind und Regen 
Verschied der April; 
Die Stürme sich legen,
Die Winde sind still.
Ein farbiger Bogen 
Am Himmel erglüht; 
Der Mai kam gezogen, 
Der Hollerbusch blüht.

Im Strauch an der Quelle
Frau Nachtigall singt; 
Ein brauner Geselle 
Sein Mädel umschlingt.
Ihr Blut geht in Wogen, 
Sie küssen sich müd.
Der Mai kam gezogen, 
Der Hollerbusch blüht.

Der Nordwind die Blätter 
Der Waldbäume jagt, 
Im stürmischen Wetter
Sitzt eine und klagt:
Verrathen, betrogen! 
Das uralte Lied -- -- --
Der Mai ist entflogen, 
Der Holler verblüht.

3. Bitte  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Weil' auf mir, du dunkles Auge,
Übe deine ganze Macht,
Ernste, milde, [träumerische]1,
Unergründlich süße Nacht!

Nimm mit deinem Zauberdunkel
Diese Welt von hinnen mir,
Daß du über meinem Leben
Einsam schwebest für und für.

4. Schilflied  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Sonnenuntergang;
Schwarze Wolken zieh'n,
O wie schwül und bang
Alle Winde flieh'n!

Durch den Himmel wild
Jagen Blitze bleich;
Ihr vergänglich Bild
Wandelt durch den Teich.

[Wie Gewitter klar]1
Mein' ich Dich zu seh'n,
Und dein langes Haar
Frei im Sturme weh'n!
