Der Nußbaum
 (Sung text for setting by R. Schumann)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch)

Es grünet ein Nußbaum vor dem Haus,
Duftig, 
Luftig 
Breitet er blättrig die Blätter aus.

Viel liebliche Blüten stehen dran;
Linde 
Winde 
Kommen, sie herzlich zu umfahn.

Es flüstern je zwei zu zwei gepaart,
Neigend, 
Beugend 
Zierlich zum Kusse die Häuptchen zart.

Sie flüstern von einem Mägdlein, das
Dächte
die Nächte 
und Tage lang, wusste, ach! selber nicht was.

Sie flüstern - wer mag verstehn so gar
Leise 
Weis'? -
Flüstern von Bräut'gam und nächstem Jahr.

Das Mägdlein horchet, es rauscht im Baum;
Sehnend, 
Wähnend 
Sinkt es lächelnd in Schlaf und Traum.
