4. Ich will meine Seele tauchen [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch)

Ich will meine Seele tauchen
In den Kelch der Lilie hinein;
Die Lilie soll [klingend]¹ hauchen
Ein Lied von der Liebsten mein.

Das Lied soll [schauern]² und beben
Wie der Kuß von ihrem Mund,
Den sie mir einst gegeben
In wunderbar süßer Stund'.

5. 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
