Dein Bildnis wunderselig Hab ich im Herzensgrund, Das sieht so froh und fröhlich Mich an zu jeder Stund'. Mein Herz still in sich singet Ein altes schönes Lied, Das durch die Seele klinget Und eilig zu dir zieht.

2. An den Sonnenschein
O Sonnenschein! o Sonnenschein! Wie scheinst du mir ins Herz hinein, Weckst drinnen lauter Liebeslust, Daß mir so enge wird die Brust! Und enge wird mir Stub' und Haus, Und wie ich lauf' zum Thor hinaus, Da lockst du gar ins frische Grün Die allerschönsten Mädchen hin! O Sonnenschein! Du glaubest wohl, Daß ich wie du es machen soll, Der jede schmucke Blume küßt, Die eben nur sich dir erschließt? Hast doch so lang' die Welt erblickt, Und weißt, daß sich's für mich nicht schickt; Was machst du mir denn solche Pein? O Sonnenschein! o Sonnenschein!

3. Veilchen
Veilchen, wie so schweigend, Wie so still dich neigend In das grüne Moos! Veilchen, sag was sinnst du, Sag mir, was beginnst du, Scheinst so freudenlos? „Laß mich! still und bange Lausch' ich dem Gesange Jener Nachtigall. Wenn sie singt, so schweig' ich, Wenn sie singt, so neig' ich Ihrem Sang und Schall.”

- by August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben (1798 - 1874), "Veilchen", appears in Kinderlieder

Die helle Sonne leuchtet Auf's weite Meer hernieder, Und alle Wellen zittern Von ihrem Glanze wieder. Du spiegelst Dich, wie die Sonne, Im Meere meiner Lieder! Sie alle glühn und zittern Von Deinem Glanze wieder!

5. Ich fühle deinen Odem
Ich fühle Deinen Odem Mich überall umwehn -- Wohin die Augen schweifen Wähn' ich, Dein Bild zu sehn! Im Meere meiner Gedanken Kannst Du nur untergehn Um, wie die Sonne, Morgens Schön wieder aufzustehn!

6. Erster Verlust
Ach wer bringt die schönen Tage, Jene Tage der ersten Liebe, Ach wer bringt nur eine Stunde Jener holden Zeit zurück! Einsam nähr' ich meine Wunde Und mit stets erneuter Klage Traur' ich um's verlorne Glück. Ach, wer bringt die schönen Tage, Jene holde Zeit zurück!

Ich kann wohl manchmal singen, Als ob ich fröhlich sei, Doch heimlich Tränen dringen, Da wird das Herz mir frei. So lassen Nachtigallen, Spielt draußen Frühlingsluft, Der Sehnsucht Lied erschallen Aus ihres Käfigs Gruft. Da lauschen alle Herzen, Und alles ist erfreut, Doch keiner fühlt die Schmerzen, Im Lied das tiefe Leid.
