Willkommen schöner Jüngling! Du Wonne der Natur! Mit deinem Blumenkörbchen Willkommen auf der Flur! Ey! ey! Da bist [ja]1 wieder! Und bist so [lieb und schön]2! Und freun wir uns so herzlich, Entgegen dir zu gehn. Denkst auch noch an mein Mädchen? Ey lieber denke doch! Dort liebte mich das Mädchen, Und 's Mädchen liebt mich noch! Fürs Mädchen manches Blümchen [Erbat ich mir]3 von dir - Ich komm' und bitte wieder, Und du? - du giebst es mir? Willkommen schöner Jüngling! Du Wonne der Natur! Mit deinem Blumenkörbchen Willkommen auf der Flur.

Note: in many older editions, the spelling of the capitalized word "über" becomes "Ueber", but this is often due to the printing process and not to rules of orthography, since the lower-case version is not "ueber", so we use "Über".

4. Schilflied [sung text not yet checked]
Language: German (Deutsch)
Auf dem Teich, dem Regungslosen, Weilt des Mondes holder Glanz, Flechtend seine bleichen Rosen In des Schilfes grünen Kranz. Hirsche wandeln dort am Hügel, Blicken [in]1 die Nacht empor; Manchmal regt sich das Geflügel Träumerisch im tiefen Rohr. Weinend muß mein Blick sich senken; Durch die tiefste Seele geht Mir ein süßes Deingedenken, Wie ein stilles Nachtgebet.

5. Valborgsnat [sung text not yet checked]
Language: Norwegian (Bokmål)
Træd stilt, træd stilt, det er Valborgsnat ! Det hvisker så sært i det mørke krat, og hæggen dufter i lunde. Og nattågen breder sig blå som vang. og bækken dæmper sin rislende sang, og alle de blomster blunde. Se der, de der under orekrat! Der er dans i skoge ved Valborgsnat og leg på lønlige veie. Og guldhønen spiller på silkestreng, og alverne danser på moseseng, og blege violer neie. Og se - der kommer en lygtemand, han render omkring med en glorød brand og gir sig til at lyse. Og myggene vimser i florlet særk, og græshoppen messer ret som en klerk, og tussefar snur sin kyse. Og hæggen dufter ved Valborgsnat, det hvisker så sært i det mørke krat, og alver danser i lunde. Så stilt du sidder i søndagsskrud, og taus jeg kysser min hvide brud, mens alle de blomster blunde.

Tiefe Stille herrscht im Wasser, Ohne Regung ruht das Meer, Und bekümmert sieht der Schiffer Glatte Fläche rings umher. Keine Luft von keiner Seite! Todesstille fürchterlich! In der ungeheuern Weite Reget keine Welle sich.

7. Nu brender [sung text not yet checked]
Language: Norwegian (Bokmål)
Nu brænder kameliablomstens kalk i stjerneskin. Nu vugges valmuen vagt og blødt af nattevind. Nu skjælver liljen til randen fyldt af skumhvid duft. Nu risler mandelknoppenes nyn i maaneskinsluft. Saa fyldes hver tanke af blomstersang saa lys, saa øm. Saa bliver mit sind til en duggfyldt blomst, en blomst i drøm.
