5. Wer zum ersten Male liebt  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wer zum ersten Male liebt,
Seis auch glücklos, ist ein Gott;
Aber wer zum zweiten Male
Glücklos liebt, der ist ein Narr.

Ich, ein solcher Narr, ich liebe
Wieder ohne Gegenliebe!
Sonne, Mond und Sterne lachen,
Und ich lache mit - und sterbe.

6. Sommer im Herzen  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Es liegt der heiße Sommer
Auf deinen Wängelein;
Es liegt der Winter, der kalte,
In deinem Herzchen klein.

Das wird sich bei dir ändern,
Du Vielgeliebte mein!
Der Winter wird auf den Wangen,
Der Sommer im Herzen sein.

7. Ich habe gelebt und geliebet  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Der Eichwald [brauset]1,
Die Wolken [ziehn]2,
Das Mägdlein [sitzet]3
An Ufers Grün,
Es bricht sich die Welle mit Macht, mit Macht,
Und sie [seufzt]4 hinaus in die [finstre]5 Nacht,
Das Auge [von]6 Weinen [getrübet]7.

"Das Herz ist gestorben,
Die Welt ist leer,
Und weiter giebt sie
Dem Wunsche nichts mehr.
Du Heilige [rufe]8 dein Kind zurück,
Ich habe genossen das irdische Glück,
Ich habe gelebt und geliebet!"

Es rinnet der Thränen
Vergeblicher Lauf,
Die Klage sie wecket
Die Todten nicht auf,
Doch nenne, was tröstet und heilet die Brust
Nach der süßen Liebe [verschwundener]9 Lust,
Ich, die himmlische, wills nicht versagen.

["]10Laß rinnen der Thränen
Vergeblichen Lauf,
Es [wecke]1 die [Klage]12
Den Todten nicht auf,
Das süßeste Glück für die [traurende]13 Brust,
Nach der schönen Liebe [verschwundener]9 Lust,
Sind der Liebe Schmerzen und Klagen.

9. Der Schnee ist glatt  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Der Schnee ist glatt, der Schlitten läuft, 
Aus Liebchens Aug' die Thräne träuft;
Ach, zum Altar schleppt man sie hin,
Nach Andrer Wunsch, nach Andrer Sinn.

Hejh, könnte ich der Schnee jetzt sein!
Ich sänke unter'm Schlitten ein;
Er stürzte um, ich würde so 
Noch einmal sie umarmen froh;

Umarmen sie, den letzten Kuß
Ihr geben noch als Scheidegruß,
Und von der Wärme ihrer Brust 
Zerschmelzend sterben -- welche Lust!

An dein treues Herz.
