1. Wenn ich in deine Augen seh' [sung text not yet checked]

Wenn ich in deine Augen seh',
So schwindet [all' mein Leid]¹ und Weh; 
Doch wenn ich küße deinen Mund,
So werd' ich ganz und gar gesund.

Wenn ich mich lehn' an deine Brust,
Kommt's über mich wie Himmelslust;
Doch wenn du sprichst: ich liebe dich!
[So]² muß ich weinen bitterlich.

2. Im wunderschönen Monat Mai [sung text not yet checked]

Im wunderschönen Monat Mai,
Als alle Knospen sprangen, ¹ 
Da [ist]² in meinem Herzen
Die Liebe aufgegangen.

Im wunderschönen Monat Mai,
Als alle Vögel sangen, ³
Da hab' ich ihr gestanden
Mein Sehnen und Verlangen.

3. Das macht den Menschen glücklich [sung text not yet checked]

Das macht den Menschen glücklich,
Das macht den Menschen matt,
Wenn er drei sehr schöne Geliebte
Und nur zwei Beine hat.

Der einen lauf ich des Morgens,
Der andern des Abends nach;
Die dritte kommt zu mir des Mittags
Wohl unter mein eignes Dach.

Lebt wohl, ihr drei Geliebten,
Ich hab zwei Beine nur,
Ich will in ländlicher Stille
Genießen die schöne Natur.

4. Am leuchtenden Sommermorgen [sung text not yet checked]

Am leuchtenden [Sommermorgen]¹
Geh' ich im Garten herum.
Es flüstern und sprechen die Blumen,
[Ich aber, ich wandle stumm.]²

Es flüstern und sprechen die Blumen,
Und [schaun]³ mitleidig mich an:
Sei [unserer]⁴ Schwester nicht böse,
Du trauriger blasser Mann.
