Es stehen unbeweglich die Sterne in ihrer Höh', viel tausend Jahr, und schauen sich an mit Liebesweh. Sie sprechen eine Sprache, die ist so reich, so schön; doch keiner der Philologen kann diese Sprache verstehn. Ich aber hab sie gelernet, und ich vergesse sie nicht; mir diente als Grammatik der Herzallerliebsten Gesicht.

Wenn ich in deine Augen [seh']1, So schwindet [all' mein Leid]2 und Weh; Doch wenn ich küße deinen Mund, So werd' ich ganz und gar gesund. Wenn ich mich lehn' an deine Brust, Kommt's über mich wie Himmelslust; Doch wenn du sprichst: ich liebe dich! [So]3 muß ich weinen bitterlich.

Dein Angesicht so lieb und schön, Das hab' ich jüngst im Traum gesehn, Es ist so mild und engelgleich, Und doch so bleich, so [schmerzenbleich]1. Und nur die Lippen, die sind rot; Bald aber küßt sie bleich der Tod. Erlöschen wird das Himmelslicht, Das aus den frommen Augen bricht.

1 Schumann: "schmerzenreich"Research team for this page: Emily Ezust [Administrator] , Pierre Mathé [Guest Editor]
Es leuchtet meine Liebe, In ihrer dunkeln Pracht, Wie'n Märchen traurig und trübe, Erzählt in der Sommernacht. "Im Zaubergarten wallen Zwei Buhlen, stumm und allein; Es singen die Nachtigallen, Es flimmert der Mondenschein. "Die Jungfrau steht still wie ein Bildnis, Der Ritter vor ihr kniet. Da kommt der Riese der Wildnis, Die bange Jungfrau flieht. "Der Ritter sinkt blutend zur Erde, Es stolpert der Riese nach Haus -" Wenn ich begraben werde, Dann ist das Märchen aus.
