Es rinnen die Wasser Tag und Nacht, Deine Sehnsucht wacht. Du gedenkest der vergangenen Zeit, Die liegt so weit. Du siehst hinaus in den Morgenschein Und bist allein. Es rinnen die Wasser Tag und Nacht, Deine Sehnsucht wacht.

2. Nächtens  [sung text checked 1 time]
Nächtens wachen auf die irren, Lügenmächt'gen Spukgestalten, Welche deinen Sinn verwirren. Nächtens ist im Blumengarten Reif gefallen, daß vergebens Du der Blumen würdest warten. Nächtens haben Gram und Sorgen In dein Herz sich eingenistet, Und auf Tränen blickt der Morgen.

3. Himmel strahlt so helle und klar  [sung text checked 1 time]
Himmel strahlt so helle und klar, Heller strahlt mir dein Augenpaar. Du meine Rose, mir ins Auge blick, Daß ich dich segne in meinem Glück. Vögleins Lied so lieblich erklingt, Süß'res Lied mir mein Liebchen singt. Du meine Rose, mir ins Auge blick, Daß ich dich segne in meinem Glück. Sonne küßt das ganze Erdenrund, Heißer küßt mich dein Rosenmund. Du meine Rose, mir ins Auge blick, Daß ich dich segne in meinem Glück.

Rote Rosenknospen künden schon des Lenzes Triebe. Rosenrote Wangen Deuten Mädchens erste Liebe. Kleiner roter Vogel, Flieg herab zur roten Rose! Bursche geht zum ros'gen Mädchen kosen.

5. Brennessel steht am Wegesrand  [sung text checked 1 time]
Brennessel steht am Wegesrand, Neider und Feinde hab' ich in Stadt und Land. Neidet, haßt, verleumdet, doch das bringt mir keine Not, Wenn mir nur mein süßes Liebchen treu bleibt bis zum Tod.

6. Liebe Schwalbe, kleine Schwalbe  [sung text checked 1 time]
Liebe Schwalbe, kleine Schwalbe, Trage fort mein kleines Briefchen! Flieg zur Höhe, fliege schnell aus, Flieg hinein in Liebchens Haus! Fragt man dich, woher du kommest, Wessen Bote du geworden, Sag, du kommst vom treusten Herzen, Das vergeht in Trennnungsschmerzen.
