Leise [zieht]1 durch mein Gemüth

2. Gefunden  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich ging im Walde
So für mich hin,
Und Nichts zu suchen,
Das war mein Sinn.

Im Schatten sah ich
Ein Blümchen stehn,
Wie Sterne leuchtend,
Wie Äuglein schön.

Ich wollt' es brechen,
Da sagt' es fein:
"Soll ich zum Welken
Gebrochen sein?"

Ich grub's mit allen
Den Würzlein aus,
Zum Garten trug ich's
Am hübschen Haus.

Und pflanzt' es wieder
Am stillen Ort;
Nun zweigt es immer
Und blüht so fort.

3. Bei den Bienenstöcken im Garten  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Bei den [Bienenkörben]1 im Garten,
Wo der Flieder in Düften steht,
Da will mein Schatz auf mich warten,
Wenn die Sonne zur Rüste geht.
Da summen die Bienlein im goldenen Schein,
Und sie summen heraus, und sie summen herein
Bei den Bienenkörben im Garten,
Wo der Flieder in Düften steht.

Nun sind die Gedanken alle
Mir schon auf dem fröhlichen Flug,
Bis der lange Tag mir verhalle,
Bis daß mir die Stunde schlug!
Und sie summen herein, und sie summen heraus,
Und mein Kopf ist schier wie ein Bienenhaus,
Bis der lange Tag mir verhalle,
Bis daß mir die Stunde schlug!

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Der du [von dem Himmel]1 bist,
