Liebliche Blume,
bist du so früh schon

Süßer, goldner Frühlingstag! Inniges Entzücken! Wenn mir je ein Lied gelang, Sollt' es heut' nicht glücken? Doch warum in dieser Zeit An die Arbeit treten? Frühling ist ein hohes Fest: Laßt mich ruhn und beten!

5. Morgengebet [sung text checked 1 time]
O wunderbares, tiefes Schweigen,
Wie einsam ist's noch auf der Welt!
Die Wälder nur sich leise [neigen]1,
Als ging' der Herr durchs stille Feld.
Ich [fühl mich recht wie neu geschaffen]2,
Wo ist die Sorge nun und Not?
Was [mich noch gestern]3 wollt' erschlaffen,
[Ich schäm' mich dess]4 im Morgenrot.
Die Welt mit ihrem Gram und Glücke
Will ich, ein Pilger, frohbereit
Betreten nur [wie]5 eine Brücke
Zu dir, Herr, [übern]6 Strom der Zeit.

6. Herbstlied [sung text checked 1 time]
Holder Lenz, du bist dahin! Nirgends, nirgends darfst du bleiben! Wo ich sah dein frohes Blühn, Braust des Herbstes banges Treiben. Wie der Wind so traurig fuhr Durch [den Strauch]1, als ob er weine; Sterbeseufzer der Natur Schauern durch die welken Haine. Wieder ist, wie bald! wie bald! Mir ein Jahr dahingeschwunden. Fragend rauscht es aus dem Wald: "Hat dein Herz sein Glück gefunden?" Waldesrauschen, wunderbar Hast du mir das Herz getroffen! Treulich bringt ein jedes Jahr [Welkes Laub und welkes]2 Hoffen.
