1. Ich will meine Seele tauchen [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch)

Ich will meine Seele tauchen
In den Kelch der Lilie hinein;
Die Lilie soll [klingend]¹ hauchen
Ein Lied von der Liebsten mein.

Das Lied soll [schauern]² und beben
Wie der Kuß von ihrem Mund,
Den sie mir einst gegeben
In wunderbar süßer Stund'.

2. Warum sind denn die Rosen so blaß [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch)

Warum sind [denn]¹ die Rosen so blaß?
O sprich mein Lieb warum?
Warum sind denn im grünen Gras
Die blauen Veilchen so stumm?

Warum singt denn mit so kläglichem Laut,
Die Lerche in der Luft?
Warum steigt denn aus dem Balsamkraut
Verwelkter Blütenduft?

Warum scheint denn die Sonn' auf die Au,
So kalt und verdrießlich herab?
Warum ist denn die Erde so grau,
Und öde wie ein Grab?

Warum bin ich selbst so krank und so trüb?
Mein liebes Liebchen sprich
O sprich mein herzallerliebstes Lieb,
Warum verließest du mich?
