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.

2. Abend wird es wieder [sung text not yet checked]
Language: German (Deutsch)
Abend wird es wieder: Über Wald und Feld Säuselt Frieden nieder Und es ruht die Welt. Nur der Bach ergießet Sich am Felsen dort, Und er braust und fließet [Immer, immer fort]1. Und kein Abend bringet Frieden ihm und Ruh, Keine Glocke klinget Ihm ein Rastlied zu. So in deinem Streben Bist, mein Herz, auch du: Gott nur kann dir geben Wahre Abendruh.

12. Die blauen Frühlingsaugen [sung text not yet checked]
Language: German (Deutsch)
Die blauen Frühlingsaugen Schau'n aus dem Gras [hervor]1; Das sind die [lieben]2 Veilchen, Die ich zum Strauß erkor. Ich pflücke sie und denke, Und die Gedanken all, Die mir im Herzen seufzen, Singt laut die Nachtigall. [Ja,]3 was ich denke, singt sie [Lautschmetternd]4, daß es schallt; Mein zärtliches Geheimnis Weiß schon der ganze Wald.
