First Edition: Magdeburg: Heinrichshofen, 1897
Sommerlust im Walde Einstmals ging ich spazieren durch einen grünen Wald, da hört' ich jubilieren die Vöglein jung und alt, doch tät mir wohl gefallen die Nachtigall vor allen. Fa la la, Fa la la la la!
Ob auch all' Vöglein sungen gar lieblich mit Stimmen all', das weit es hat erklungen wohl über Berg und Tal, doch tät mir wohl gefallen die Nachtigall vor allen. Fa la la, Fa la la la la!
Der fröliche Musicus Ein [Musikant]* wollt fröhlich sein, [Es]+ tät ihm wohl gelingen, Er saß bei einem guten Wein, Da wollt er lustig singen, [Bekannt ist weit und breit der Wein, Gewachsen hin und her am Rhein,]** Macht sittlich modulieren, [Tut]++ manchen oft verführen.
Davon setzt er ein Liedlein klein, Das tät er wohl betrachten, Und mischet gute Fugen ein, Niemand [konnt's]*+ ihm verachten. Er dacht in dem Gemüte sein, Ei wären tausend Kronen mein Und alle Jahr ein Fuder Wein, Das könnten gute Fugen sein. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ * Bruch: "Musicus" + Bruch: "Das" ** Bruch: "Der Wein ist weit und breit bekannt,/ gewachsen im Würtembergschen Land" ++ Bruch: "tät" *+ Bruch: "konnt ihm's"
An die Musik Du bist ein' Gottes Gabe, du edler Musiklang, wenn ich dich um mich habe wird mir die Zeit nicht lang; kein' Kunst ist deines gleichen, der Teufel selbst muss weichen, wenn Davids Harfe klingt.
Die Harfe Davids klinget jetzt und in allem Land, so oft ein Christe singet von Gottes mächt'ger Hand. Fürwahr, ob solchem Schalle wir werden fröhlich Alle; die Musik Freude bringt.
Drum sollen wir gedenken im Herzen oft daran, wer uns die selbig schenken und wieder nehmen kann, und gegen solcher Gaben geneigte Herzen haben, weil Guts, aus ihr entspringt.
Narrenfahrt Wenn man tut zu sammen klauben sechs Poeten mit ihren Dauben, sechs Organisten mit ihren Mucken, sechs Komponisten mit ihren Stücken, und tut sie setzen auf einen Karren, so fährt anderthalb Dutzen Narren. Wenn bricht der Karren, so fallen die Narren, und obwohl ist zerbrochen der Karren, so bleiben doch achtzehn grosse Narren!
Achtzehn grosse Narren; so bleiben doch achtzehn grosse Narren!
Musicaklang Musicaklang, lieblicher Gesang, er quickt allzeit wo Trübsal leit, Musicaklang, lieblicher Gesang, und tut darin erfreuden kein falsches Herz, sondern bewährt's, an dem der's meint in Treuen, Musicaklang!
Drum komm zu mir, ist also dir, in Trübsal und in Traurigkeit, drum komm zu mir, ist also dir, mach selber dir nit Schmerzen, und wenn man singt, dass lieblich klingt, wirst freuen dich im Herzen, Musicaklang!
Lenz, komm herbei! Lenz, komm herbei! Nun will ich frei ein fröhliches Leben anfangen, weil Sommerzeit nun ist nicht weit, der Winter ist vergangen, all' Feld tun jetzt und grünen, der Lenz bringt schöne Blumen!
Gott geb' dir zwar, dass du viel Jahr magst Früchte und Blumen bringen,
Du edler Lenz mit deinem Glanz, wie Sonn' schein herthust dringen, all' Feld tun jetzt und grünen, der Lenz bringt schöne Blumen!

Text
Mein Liebchen naht, Blumen zu pflücken
Lass die Fluren sanfter rauschen, glücklicher Tormez, denn mein Liebchen naht, Blumen zu pflükken!
Zwischen grünen Au'n, und dem Blütenwalde, mögen Lilie und Nelken deine Felder zieren, und mit bunten Farben sie stikken zum Wogen, denn mein Liebchen naht, Blumen zu pflükken!
When my dear one comes
Let the meadows bloom more gaily, fortunate Tormez, When my dear one comes, seeking fair blossoms!
Durch die wolkige Maiennacht
Durch die wolkige Maiennacht, geht ein leises Schallen, wie im wald die Tropfen sacht auf die Blätter fallen.
Welch' ein ahnungsreicher Duft, quillt aus allen Bäumen! Dunkel weht es in der Luft, wie von Zukunftsträumen!
Und im Hauch der auf mich sinkt, dehnt sich all mein Wesen; und die müde Seele trinkt, schauerndes Genesen!
Müde Seele, hofe nur, morgen kommt die Sonne! und du blühst mit Wald und Feld, hell in Frühlingswonne!
Through the haze of the cloudy night
Through the haze of the cloudy night, Spring is softly calling, As when rain wit patter light 0n the leaves is falling.
Fragrance filling all the air, From the buds is breaking! Promise rising ev'rywhere, Dreams of joy awaking!
Now my spirit rises high, Fills with buoyant feeling; Ev'ry doubt and fear must fly, ev'ry hurt is healing! Weary spirit hope again, Morning will banish sorrow! Gayly bloom with hill and plain, Greet the Spring tomorrow!
