4. Der Fichtenbaum  [sung text not yet checked]
Ein [Fichtenbaum]1 steht einsam Im Norden auf kahler Höh'; Ihn schläfert; mit weißer Decke Umhüllen ihn Eis und Schnee. Er träumt von einer Palme, Die fern im Morgenland, Einsam und [schweigend]2 trauert Auf brennender Felsenwand.

6. Die Verlassene  [sung text not yet checked]
Sie stand wohl am Fensterbogen Und flocht sich traurig [ihr]1 Haar, Der Jäger war fortgezogen, Der Jäger ihr Liebster war. Und als der Frühling gekommen, Die Welt war von Blüthen verschneit, Da hat sie ein Herz sich genommen Und ging in die grüne Haid'. Sie legt das Ohr an den Rasen, Hört ferner Hufe Klang -- Das sind die Rehe, die grasen Am schattigen Bergeshang. Und Abends die Wälder rauschen, Von fern nur fällt noch ein Schuß, Da steht sie stille, zu lauschen: »Das war meines Liebsten Gruß!« Da sprangen vom Fels die Quellen, Da flohen die Vöglein in's Thal. »Und wo ihr ihn trefft, ihr Gesellen, [Grüßt]2 mir ihn tausendmal!«
