Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ach, könnte, könnt' ich vergessen Sie!
  Ihr schönes, liebliches Wesen,
Den Blick, die freundliche Lippe, die!
  Vielleicht ich möchte genesen!
Doch ach! mein Herz, mein Herz kann es nie!
Und doch ist's Wahnsinn, zu hoffen Sie!
     ... 
Und dann, wie kann ich vergessen Sie,
  Ihr schönes, liebliches Wesen,
Den Blick, die freundliche Lippe, die!
  Viel lieber nimmer genesen!

1. Een sonnet
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
Ach, kon ik, kon ik vergeten haar,
Haar mooie, lieve, lieflijke wezen,
Die blik, dat vriend'lijke lippenpaar!
Misschien zou ‘k dan wel genezen!
Maar ach, mijn hart, mijn hart valt ’t te zwaar!
Al is het waanzin, te hopen op1 haar!
En rond haar te2 zweven
Geeft moed en leven: ga nooit vandaar!
En dan, hoe kan ik vergeten haar,
Haar mooie, lieve, lieflijke wezen,
Die blik, dat vriend’lijke lippenpaar?
Dan liever nooit meer genezen!

2. Ich will meine Seele tauchen
 (Sung text)
by Oskar Raif (1847 - 1899), "Ich will meine Seele tauchen", op. 8 (Zwei Lieder) no. 2, published 1877 [ voice and piano ], Leipzig, Barth
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich will meine Seele tauchen
In den Kelch der Lilie hinein;
Die Lilie soll klingen und hauchen
Ein Lied von der Liebsten mein.

Das Lied soll schau'rn und beben
Wie der Kuß von ihrem Mund,
Den sie mir einst gegeben
In wunderbar süßer Stund'.

by Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)
2. Ik dompel dit liefdesliedje
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
 Ik dompel dit liefdesliedje
 In een bad dat vol is gegooid
 Met witte vergeetmijnietjes
 Tot lied dat haar hart ontdooit
 Als ik dan zing zal het klinken
 Als de kus die zij me gaf
 Of zou mijn lied verdrinken
 In huilbuien achteraf?
