Mein Schatz, der ist auf die Wanderschaft hin,
Ich weiß aber nicht, was ich so traurig bin,
Vielleicht ist er todt und liegt in guter Ruh,
Drum bring ich meine Zeit so traurig zu.
... Drei Lieder

Ich sammelte die Blätter meiner Rose Und hüllte sorgsam sie in Seide ein, Dann gab ich sie dem Mutter-Erdenschooße. - Ob sie erblüht wohl, wird es Frühling sein? Dich haben sie in's Leichentuch gewunden Und eingesargt in einem engen Schrein, Mit einem festen Deckel Dich gebunden. - Ob Du erwachst wohl, wird es Frühling sein?

Du bist wie eine Blume So hold und schön und rein; Ich schau' dich an, und Wehmut Schleicht mir ins Herz hinein. Mir ist, als ob ich die Hände Aufs Haupt dir legen sollt', und beten, daß Gott dich erhalte So rein und schön und hold.
