Aus meinen Tränen sprießen Viel blühende Blumen hervor, Und meine Seufzer werden Ein Nachtigallenchor. Und wenn du mich lieb hast, Kindchen, Schenk' ich dir die Blumen all', Und vor deinem Fenster soll klingen Das Lied der Nachtigall.

2. Wasserfahrt [sung text not yet checked]
Language: German (Deutsch)
Ich stand gelehnet an den Mast, Und zählte jede Welle. [Ade!]1 mein schönes Vaterland! Mein Schiff, das segelt schnelle! Ich [kam schön]2 Liebchens Haus vorbei, Die Fensterscheiben blinken; Ich [guck']3 mir fast die Augen aus, Doch [will mir niemand]4 winken. Ihr Tränen, bleibt mir aus dem Aug', Daß ich nicht dunkel sehe. [Mein krankes]5 Herze brich mir nicht Vor [allzugroßem]6 Wehe.

3. Die Lotosblume ängstigt [sung text not yet checked]
Language: German (Deutsch)
Die Lotosblume ängstigt Sich vor der Sonne Pracht Und mit gesenktem Haupte Erwartet sie träumend die Nacht. Der Mond, [der]1 ist ihr Buhle Er weckt sie mit seinem Licht, Und ihm entschleiert sie freundlich Ihr [frommes]2 Blumengesicht, Sie blüht und glüht und leuchtet Und starret stumm in die Höh'; Sie duftet und weinet und zittert Vor Liebe und Liebesweh.

4. Warum sind denn die Rosen so blaß [sung text not yet checked]
Language: German (Deutsch)
Warum sind [denn]1 die Rosen so blaß? O sprich mein Lieb warum? Warum sind denn im grünen Gras Die blauen Veilchen so stumm? Warum singt denn mit so kläglichem Laut, Die Lerche in der Luft? Warum steigt denn aus dem Balsamkraut Verwelkter Blütenduft? Warum scheint denn die Sonn' auf die Au, So kalt und verdrießlich herab? Warum ist denn die Erde so grau, Und öde wie ein Grab? Warum bin ich selbst so krank und so trüb? Mein liebes Liebchen sprich O sprich mein herzallerliebstes Lieb, Warum verließest du mich?

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
