Wie soll ich frohlich sein; Was soll der Zorn, mein Schatz; Sterb' ich, so hullt in Blumen meine Glieder; Und steht Ihr fruh am Morgen auf; Benedeit die sel'ge Mutter; Wenn du, mein Liebster, steigst zum Himmel auf; Wie viele Zeit verlor ich; Wenn du mich mit den Augen streifst; Gesegnet sei das Grun; O war' dein Haus durchsichtig wie tin Glas; Heut' Nacht erhob ich mich; Nicht langer kann ich singen; Schweig' einmal still; O wusstest du, wie viel ich deinetwegen; Verschling' der Abgrund meines Liebsten Hutte ; Ich hab in Penna einen Liebsten wohnen
