Du bist wie eine Blume
[so hold und schön und rein;]¹

2. Ein schöner Stern geht auf in meiner Nacht [sung text not yet checked]

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!

3. Aus den Himmelsaugen droben [sung text not yet checked]

Aus den Himmelsaugen droben
Fallen zitternd [goldne]¹ Funken
Durch die Nacht, und meine Seele
Dehnt sich liebeweit und weiter.

O ihr Himmelsaugen droben!
Weint euch aus in meine Seele,
Daß von lichten Sternentränen
Überfließet meine Seele.

4. Mit deinen blauen Augen [sung text not yet checked]

Mit deinen blauen Augen
Siehst du mich [lieblich]¹ an,
Da ward mir so träumend zu Sinne,
Daß ich nicht sprechen kann.
 
An deinen blauen Augen
Gedenk' ich allerwärts:
Ein Meer von blauen Gedanken
Ergießt sich über mein Herz.

5. Lieb Liebchen, leg's Händchen aufs Herze [sung text not yet checked]

Lieb' Liebchen, leg's Händchen [aufs]¹ Herze mein; -
Ach, hörst du, wie's [pochet]² im Kämmerlein?
Da hauset ein Zimmermann schlimm und arg,
Der zimmert mir einen Totensarg.

[Es]³ hämmert und klopfet bei Tag und bei Nacht;
[Es]³ hat mich schon längst um den Schlaf gebracht.
Ach! sputet Euch, Meister Zimmermann,
Damit ich [balde]⁴ schlafen kann.

6. Lehn deine Wang' an meine Wang' [sung text not yet checked]

Lehn deine Wang' an meine Wang',
Dann fliessen die Tränen zusammen;
Und an mein Herz drück fest dein Herz,
Dann schlagen zusammen die Flammen!

Und wenn in die große Flamme fliesst
Der Strom von unsern Tränen,
Und wenn [dich mein Arm]¹ gewaltig umschließt -
Sterb' ich vor Liebessehnen!
