Ein schöner Stern geht auf in meiner Nacht,
Ein Stern, der süßen Trost herniederlacht
Und neues Leben mir verspricht -
O, lüge nicht!

Gleichwie das Meer dem Mond entgegenschwillt,
So flutet meine Seele, froh und wild,
Empor zu deinem holden Licht -
O, lüge nicht!

Ich lieb' eine Blume, doch weiß ich nicht welche;

Den süßen Gesang:
Uns beiden ist so bang' und wehe,
So weh und bang.

Und seh dein Auge blitzen trotziglich,
Und seh den Stolz, der deinen Busen hebt,

Verborgne Träne trübt des Auges Schein,
Der stolze Busen hegt geheime Wund,

Andre beten zur Madonne,
Andre auch zu Paul und Peter;
Ich jedoch, ich will nur beten,
Nur zu dir, du schöne Sonne.

Gib mir Küsse, gib mir Wonne,
Sei mir gütig, sei mir gnädig,
Schönste Sonne unter den Mädchen,
Schönstes Mädchen unter der Sonne!

Heft 5 print " -- "; 3. Liebste, sollst mir heute sagen [sung text not yet checked]

Liebste, sollst mir heute sagen:
Bist du nicht ein Traumgebild,
Wies in schwülen Sommertagen
Aus dem Hirn des Dichters quillt?

Aber nein, ein solches Mündchen,
Solcher Augen Zauberlicht,
Solch ein liebes, süßes Kindchen,
Das erschafft der Dichter nicht.

Basilisken und Vampire,
Lindenwürm und Ungeheur,
Solche schlimmen Fabeltiere
Die erschafft des Dichters Feur.

Aber dich und deine Tücke,
Und dein holdes Angesicht,
Und die falschen frommen Blicke -
Das erschafft der Dichter nicht.
