- Rede, Mädchen, allzu liebes
- Am Gesteine rauscht die Flut
- O die Frauen
- Wie des Abends schöne Röte
- Die grüne Hopfenranke
- Ein kleiner, hübscher Vogel
- Wohl schön bewandt war es
- Wenn so lind dein Auge mir
- Am Donaustrande
- O, wie sanft die Quelle
- Nein, es ist nicht auszukommen
- Schlosser auf, und mache Schlösser
- Vöglein durchrauscht die Luft
- Sieh', wie ist die Welle klar

- Ein dunkeler Schacht ist Liebe
- Nicht wandle, mein Licht
- Es bebet das Gesträuche
