Drei Lieder für 1 Singstimme mit Pianofortebegleitung , opus 6

  Du bist wie eine Blume
[So hold und schön und rein;]1
Ich schau' dich an, und Wehmut
Schleicht mir ins Herz hinein.

  Mir ist, als ob [ich]2 die Hände
Aufs Haupt [dir]3 legen sollt',
[Betend]4, daß [Gott dich]5 erhalte
[So rein und schön und hold.]6

Ich darf nun niemals, niemals wieder
In deine lieben Augen seh'n,
Mit jener Brust voll Lust und Lieder
Vor deinem Angesichte steh'n.
Von jenem jugendheißen Hoffen
Die blassen Schatten blieben kaum --
In's tiefste Herz ward ich getroffen;
Es war ein Traum -- ein Traum -- ein Traum! --

Leise [zieht]1 durch mein Gemüth
Liebliches Geläute.
Klinge, kleines Frühlingslied,
Kling' hinaus in's Weite.

[Kling']2 hinaus bis an das Haus,
Wo die [Blumen]3 sprießen.
Wenn du eine Rose schaust,
Sag' ich lass' sie grüßen.
