Und [dort]2 ein [ew'ges]3 Leben habe.

2. Das letzte Kännchen  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Gib mir, trautes Ännchen,
Einen Abschiedskuss
Und das letzte Kännchen,
Weil ich scheiden muss.

An die Tür der Kammer
Schreibe meine Schuld,
Harre sonder Jammer
Meiner in Geduld.

Wird auf grüner Heide
Draussen mir ein Grab,
Wische sanft die Kreide
Mit der Schürze ab.

3. Du bist die Ruh', der Friede mild  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Du bist die Ruh,
Der Friede mild,
Die Sehnsucht du,
Und was sie stillt.

Ich weihe dir
[Voll]1 Lust und Schmerz
Zur Wohnung [hier]2
Mein Aug' und Herz.

Kehr' [ein bei mir]3,
Und schließe du
Still hinter dir
Die [Pforten]4 zu.

Treib andern Schmerz
Aus dieser Brust.
Voll sey dies Herz
[Von]5 deiner Lust.

Dies Augenzelt
Von deinem Glanz
Allein erhellt,
O füll' es ganz.

  • by Friedrich Rückert (1788 - 1866), "Kehr' ein bei mir!", appears in Östliche Rosen, in 1. Erste Lese, first published 1822

4. Wart' nur  [sung text not yet checked]

Subtitle: Schelmenliedchen

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich war ein Mädchen jung und klein, 
Und kaum zwei Jahre alt, 
Da führte mich mein Schwesterlein 
Spazieren in den Wald.  

Auf einmal folgte frank und frei 
Ein Jäger uns'rer Spur 
Und küßte sie mit eins, zwei, drei! 
Und sie, sie lachte nur!  

Ich aber sah das Ding mit an 
Und dachte mir:  "Aha! 
Wart' nur, wenn ich 'mal sprechen kann, 
So sag' ich's der Mama!"
