Es treibt [dich]1 fort von Ort zu Ort, Du weißt nicht mal warum; Im Winde klingt ein sanftes Wort, Schaust dich verwundert um. Die Liebe, die dahinten blieb, Sie ruft dich sanft zurück: "O komm zurück, ich hab dich lieb, Du bist mein einz'ges Glück!" Doch weiter, weiter, sonder Rast, Du darfst nicht stille stehn; Was du so sehr geliebet hast, Sollst du nicht wiedersehn.
Vier Lieder , opus 3

2. Wenn ich in deine Augen seh' [sung text not yet checked]
Wenn ich in deine Augen [seh']1, So schwindet [all' mein Leid]2 und Weh; Doch wenn ich küße deinen Mund, So werd' ich ganz und gar gesund. Wenn ich mich lehn' an deine Brust, Kommt's über mich wie Himmelslust; Doch wenn du sprichst: ich liebe dich! [So]3 muß ich weinen bitterlich.

3. Mondnacht [sung text not yet checked]
Es war, als [hätt']1 der Himmel, Die Erde still geküßt, Daß sie im Blütenschimmer Von ihm [nun]2 träumen müßt. Die Luft ging durch die Felder, Die Ähren wogten sacht, Es rauschten leis die Wälder, So sternklar war die Nacht. Und meine Seele spannte Weit ihre Flügel aus, Flog durch die stillen [Lande]3, Als flöge sie nach Haus.
