2. Im Himmelreich ein Haus steht  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Im Himmelreich ein Haus steht,
da hin ein goldener Weg geht.
Die Säulen die sind von Marmelstein,
da legte unser Herr hinein
die edelsten Gesteine.
In dieses Haus geht niemand ein,
der nicht von allen Sünden reine.

4. Der Abend  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Schweigt der Menschen laute Lust:
Rauscht die Erde wie in Träumen
Wunderbar mit allen Bäumen,
Was dem Herzen kaum bewusst,
Alte Zeiten, linde Trauer,
Und es schweifen leise Schauer
Wetterleuchtend durch die Brust.

7. Seit die Sonne ihren lichten Schein  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Seit die Sonne ihren lichten Schein
vor der Kälte hat geneiget
und der kleine Vögelein
sommerliches Singen schweiget,
traurig ist das Herze mein;
denn es will nun Winter sein,
der uns seine Kraft erzeiget
an den Blumen, da man sieht
lichte Gluten
blaß verbluten;
davon mir geschieht
Leid, und Liebes flieht.

9. In der Luft des süßen Maien  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
In der Luft des süßen Maien
wenn der Wald gekleidet steht,
so sieht man zu zweien reihen
alles, was in Liebe geht,
und ist miteinander froh.
Das ist recht; die Zeit will so.

10. Abendständchen  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
[Hör]1 es klagt die Flöte wieder
Und die kühlen [Brunnen]2 rauschen,
Golden wehn die Töne nieder,
Stille, [stille]3, laß uns lauschen!

Holdes Bitten, mild Verlangen,
[Wie es süß zum Herzen spricht]4!
Durch die Nacht die mich umfangen,
Blickt zu mir der Töne Licht.
