2. Die goldne Wiege  [sung text not yet checked]
Am Heidberg geht ein leises Singen, Ein leises Singen her und hin, Da sitzt und wiegt die [goldne]1 Wiege Die tote Zwergenkönigin. Frau Königin, Euch will ich's klagen, Will klagen Euch mein Herzeleid, Mein Schatz hat treulos mich verraten, Mein Herz, das weint vor Traurigkeit. So gib es her, ich will es wiegen, Bis daß es schläft für immer ein, Soll in der goldnen Wiege schlafen Bei meinem toten Kindelein. Und wiegt Ihr es auch sieben Jahre Und wiegt Ihr es auch immerzu, Es hört und hört nicht auf zu weinen, Es läßt und läßt mir keine Ruh'. Ich weiß ein tiefes Wasser rauschen, Es rauscht ein Lied, das keiner kennt, Das soll mein Herz in Schlummer singen, Erst dann hat seine Not ein End'.

3. Le silence  [sung text not yet checked]
S'il est vrai qu'au jardin sacré des écritures, le fils de l'homme ait dit ce qu'on voit rapporté; Muet, aveugle et sourd au cri des créatures, Si le ciel nous laissa comme un monde avorté. Le juste opposera le dédain à l'absence et ne répondra plus que par un froid silence au silence éternel de la divinité.

O my [Luve's]1 like a red, red rose That's newly sprung in June: O my [Luve's]1 like the melodie That's sweetly play'd in tune. As fair art thou, my bonnie lass, [So]2 deep in luve am I: And I will luve thee still, my dear, Till a' the seas gang dry: Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear, And the rocks melt wi' the sun; I will luve thee still, my dear, While the sands o' life shall run. And fare thee weel, my only Luve! And fare thee weel a while! And I will come again, my Luve, Tho' it were ten thousand mile.

5. Quando cadran le foglie  [sung text not yet checked]
Quando cadran le foglie e tu verrai A cercar la mia croce in camposanto, In un cantuccio la ritroverai E molti fior le saran [nati]1 accanto. Cògli [allora]2 pe' tuoi biondi capelli I fiori nati [dal]3 mio cor. Son quelli I canti che pensai [ma]1 che non scrissi, Le parole d'amor che non ti dissi.
