Veilchen, wie so schweigend
 (Sung text for setting by W. Heiser)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Veilchen, wie so schweigend,
Wie so still dich neigend
In das grüne Moos!
Veilchen, sag was sinnst du,
Sag mir, was beginnst du,
Scheinst so freudenlos?

„Laß mich! still und bange
Lausch' ich dem Gesange
Jener Nachtigall.
Wenn sie singt, so schweig' ich,
Wenn sie singt, so neig' ich
Ihrem Sang und Schall.”
