2. Und wüßten's die Blumen, die kleinen [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch)

Und wüßten's die Blumen, die kleinen,
Wie tief verwundet mein Herz,
Sie würden mit mir weinen,
Zu heilen meinen Schmerz.

Und wüßten's die Nachtigallen,
Wie ich so traurig und krank,
Sie ließen fröhlich erschallen
Erquickenden Gesang.

Und wüßten sie mein Wehe,
Die [goldnen]¹ Sternelein,
Sie kämen aus ihrer Höhe,
Und sprächen Trost mir ein.

[Die]² alle können's nicht wissen,
Nur [eine]³ kennt meinen Schmerz;
[Sie]⁴ hat ja selbst zerrissen,
Zerrissen mir das Herz.

5. Mir träumte von einem Königskind [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch)

Mir [träumte]¹ von einem Königskind,
Mit nassen, blassen Wangen;
Wir sassen unter der grünen Lind'
Und hielten uns liebeumfangen.

"Ich will nicht deines Vaters Thron,
Ich will nicht sein Scepter [von]² Golde,
Ich will nicht seine demantene Kron',
Ich will dich selber, du Holde!"

Das kann nicht sein, sprach sie zu mir,
ich liege ja im Grabe,
und nur des Nachts komm' ich zu dir,
weil ich so lieb dich habe.
