5. Unter der Linden, bei der Haide  [sung text not yet checked]

Unter der Linden
Bei der Haide
Da unser Beider Bette war
Dort könnt Ihr finden
Wie wir beide
Die Blumen brachen, wunderbar --
Vor dem Walde in einem Thale
Tandareidei
Sang so süß die Nachtigal.

6. Blaublümelein  [sung text not yet checked]

Es fiel ein Reif in der Frühlingsnacht,    
Es fiel auf die [zarten]1 Blaublümelein:
Sie sind verwelket, [verdorrt]2.

Ein Jüngling hatte ein Mädchen lieb;   
Sie flohen heimlich [von]3 Hause fort,
Es [wußt']4 weder Vater noch Mutter.

Sie sind gewandert hin und her,
Sie haben gehabt weder Glück noch Stern,
Sie sind [verdorben, gestorben]5.
