Auf geheimem Waldespfade Schleich' ich gern im Abendschein An das öde Schilfgestade, Mädchen, und gedenke dein! Wenn sich dann der Busch verdüstert, Rauscht das Rohr geheimnisvoll, Und es klaget und es flüstert, Daß ich weinen, weinen soll. Und ich mein', ich höre wehen Leise deiner Stimme Klang, Und im Weiher untergehen Deinen lieblichen Gesang.

2. Schilflied  [sung text not yet checked]
Auf dem Teich, dem Regungslosen, Weilt des Mondes holder Glanz, Flechtend seine bleichen Rosen In des Schilfes grünen Kranz. Hirsche wandeln dort am Hügel, Blicken [in]1 die Nacht empor; Manchmal regt sich das Geflügel Träumerisch im tiefen Rohr. Weinend muß mein Blick sich senken; Durch die tiefste Seele geht Mir ein süßes Deingedenken, Wie ein stilles Nachtgebet.

3. Der träumende See  [sung text not yet checked]
Der See [ruht]1 tief im [blauen]2 Traum Von Wasserblumen zugedeckt; Ihr Vöglein hoch im [Fichtenbaum]3, Daß ihr [mir]4 nicht den Schläfer weckt! Doch leise weht das Schilf und wiegt Das Haupt mit leichtem Sinn; Ein blauer Falter aber fliegt Darüber einsam hin!
