Wo ich bin, mich rings umdunkelt Finsterniß so dumpf und dicht, Seit mir nicht mehr leuchtend funkelt, Liebste, deiner Augen Licht. [Mir]1 erloschen ist der süßen Liebessterne goldne Pracht, Abgrund gähnt zu meinen Füßen. Nimm mich auf, uralte Nacht.

3. Morgens steh' ich auf und frage  [sung text not yet checked]
Language: German (Deutsch)
Morgens steh' ich auf und frage: Kommt feins Liebchen heut? Abends sink' ich hin und klage: Aus blieb sie auch heut. In der Nacht mit meinem Kummer lieg' ich schlaflos, [wach]1; träumend, wie im halben Schlummer, träumend wandle ich bei Tag.

Language: German (Deutsch)
Lieb' Liebchen, leg's Händchen [aufs]1 Herze mein; - Ach, hörst du, wie's [pochet]2 im Kämmerlein? Da hauset ein Zimmermann schlimm und arg, Der zimmert mir einen Totensarg. [Es]3 hämmert und klopfet bei Tag und bei Nacht; [Es]3 hat mich schon längst um den Schlaf gebracht. Ach! sputet Euch, Meister Zimmermann, Damit ich [balde]4 schlafen kann.
