2. Ich grolle nicht, und wenn das Herz auch bricht [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch)

Ich grolle nicht, und wenn das Herz auch bricht,
Ewig verlor'nes Lieb, ich grolle nicht.
Wie du auch strahlst in Diamantenpracht,
Es fällt kein Strahl in deines Herzens Nacht.
Das weiß ich längst.

Ich grolle nicht, und wenn das Herz auch bricht,
Ich sah dich ja im [Traum]¹,
Und sah die Nacht in deines Herzens [Raum]²,
Und sah die Schlang', die dir am Herzen frißt,
Ich sah, mein Lieb, wie sehr du elend bist.

4. Wenn ich in deine Augen seh' [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch)

Wenn ich in deine Augen [seh']¹,
So schwindet [all' mein Leid]² und Weh; 
Doch wenn ich küße deinen Mund,
So werd' ich ganz und gar gesund.

Wenn ich mich lehn' an deine Brust,
Kommt's über mich wie Himmelslust;
Doch wenn du sprichst: ich liebe dich!
[So]³ muß ich weinen bitterlich.
