2. Die Liebe als Recensentin  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Der Kuckuck hat ein einzig Lied
[Auf]1 seinen Schatz erdacht,
Das wird er nicht zu singen müd
Von früh bis in die Nacht.

Sein [Schätzlein]2 sitzt auf grünem Zweig
Hört unermüdlich zu3,
Und denkt, es singt im ganzen Reich
Doch Keiner wie mein Kucku4.

3. Das verlassene Mägdelein  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Früh, [wann]1 die Hähne kräh'n,
[Eh']2 die Sternlein [verschwinden]3,
Muß ich am [Herde stehn]4,
Muß Feuer zünden.

Schön ist der [Flammen]5 Schein,
[Es]6 springen die Funken.
Ich schaue so [drein]7,
In Leid versunken.

Plötzlich, da kommt es mir,
Treuloser Knabe,
Daß ich die Nacht von dir
Geträumet habe.

Träne auf Träne dann
Stürzet hernieder;
So kommt der Tag heran -
O ging' er wieder!
