1. Wehmut  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich kann wohl manchmal singen,
Als ob ich fröhlich sei,
Doch heimlich Tränen dringen,
Da wird das Herz mir frei.

[Es]1 lassen Nachtigallen,
Spielt draußen Frühlingsluft,
Der Sehnsucht Lied erschallen
Aus ihres [Kerkers]2 Gruft.

[Da]3 lauschen alle Herzen,
Und alles ist erfreut,
Doch keiner [fühlt]3 die Schmerzen,
Im Lied das tiefe Leid.

2. Lebewohl  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Morgen muß ich [weg]1 von hier
Und muß Abschied nehmen;
O du [allerhöchste]2 Zier,
Scheiden das bringt Grämen.
Da ich dich so treu geliebt
Über alle Maßen,
Soll ich dich verlassen. 

Wenn zwei gute Freunde sind, 
Die einander kennen,
Sonn' und Mond bewegen sich,
Ehe sie sich trennen.
Noch viel größer ist der Schmerz,
Wenn ein treu [verliebtes]3 Herz  
In die Fremde ziehet. 

Dort auf jener grünen Au
Steht mein jung, frisch Leben,
Soll ich dann mein Lebelang
In der Fremde schweben?
Hab' ich dir was Leids getan, 
Bitt' dich, woll's vergessen,
Denn es geht zu Ende.

Küsset dir ein Lüftelein
Wangen oder Hände,
Denke, daß es Seufzer sein,
Die ich zu dir sende:
Tausend schick' ich täglich aus,
Die da wehen um dein Haus,
Weil ich dein gedenke.
