DIE SOLDATENBRAUT is the meditation of a soldier's bride, who wishes the King could know how brave her man is, and how good to her. If only she could have him to herself!
Die Lotosblume is one of the song cycle entitled Myrtles which the composer wrote as an offering to his betrothed, Clara Wieck. The lotus flower is weary of the sunlight, and longs for the night. She loves the moonlight, and to it unveils her beauty. Thus blooming. she trembles with the fervour of love and love's pains.

For dem Fenster is one of the many folk-songs that Brahms arranged. The young man determines to go a-wooing, and sings beneath his maiden's window. She is afraid her parents will hear. He cares naught for that, so long as he can be near her. The parting makes him sad, but it must be. for the watchman approaches, blowing his horn.
Der Jaeger is a bold fellow-a huntsman who never, misses his aim, and who has a great way with the girls. He knows all the woodland trails ; but, muses one maiden, 'his path to me must be through the church door.'
