1. Du bist wie eine Blume [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch)

  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

2. Du schönes Fischermädchen [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch)

Du schönes Fischermädchen,
Treibe den Kahn an's Land;
Komm zu [mir und setze]¹ dich nieder,
Wir kosen Hand in Hand.

Leg' an mein Herz dein Köpfchen,
Und fürchte dich nicht [zu]² sehr,
[Vertrau'st du dich]³ doch [sorglos]⁴
Täglich dem wilden Meer.

Mein Herz gleicht ganz dem Meere,
Hat Sturm und Ebb' und Fluth,
Und manche schöne Perle
In seiner Tiefe ruht.⁵
