Dem rothen Röslein gleicht mein Lieb, Im Junimond erblüht; Mein Lieb ist eine Melodei, Vor der die Seele glüht. Wie schön du bist, geliebte Maid! Wie wird das Herz mir schwer! Und lieben wird's dich immerdar, Bis trocken Strom und Meer! Und würden trocken Strom und Meer, Und schmölzen Fels und Stein: Ich würde dennoch lebenslang Dir Herz und Seele weihn! [Und]1, holdes Liebchen, lebe wohl! Leb' wohl, du süße Maid! Bald kehr' ich wieder, wär' ich auch Zehn tausend Meilen weit!
Zehn Lieder für 1 Singstimme mit Pianoforte , opus 59

Wenn ich auf dem Lager liege In Nacht [und Kissen]1 gehüllt, So schwebt mir vor ein süßes, Anmutig liebes Bild!

Weißt du noch, wie ich am [Felsen]1 Bei den Veilchen dich belauschte? Weißt du noch den Fliederstrauch, Wo der Strom vorüber rauschte? Weißt du noch den Bergespfad, Wo ich um den Strauß dich bat, Weißt du noch? Ach, es war ein süßes Bild, Als du da errötend standest Und zur Erde all die Blumen Fielen, die zum Strauß du [wandest]2! Deine liebe kleine Hand Spielte mit dem blauen Band, Weißt du noch? Und es sahen Fels und Strom Dein Erröten und dein Beben, Sahen auch den ersten Kuß, Halb genommen, halb gegeben! Und des Himmels goldner Strahl Ueberflog Gebirg und Thal; Weißt du noch?

9. If I leave all for thee [sung text not yet checked]
Language: English
If I leave all for thee, wilt thou exchange And be all to me? Shall I never miss Home-talk and blessing and the common kiss That comes to each in turn, nor count it strange, When I look up, to drop on a new range Of walls and floors, another home than this? Nay, wilt thou fill that place by me which is Filled by dead eyes too tender to know change That's hardest. If to conquer love, has tried, To conquer grief, tries more, as all things prove, For grief indeed is love and grief beside. Alas, I have grieved so I am hard to love. Yet love me--wilt thou? Open thy heart wide, And fold within, the wet wings of thy dove.
