Zwei Liebeslieder , opus 4

by Paula Kühne

Translations available for the entire opus: FRE 

1. Verriet mein blasses Angesicht  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Verriet mein blasses Angesicht
Dir nicht mein Liebeswehe?
Und willst du, daß der stolze Mund
[Das]1 Bettelwort gestehe?

O, dieser Mund ist [viel]2 zu stolz,
Und kann nur küssen und scherzen;
Er [spräche]3 vielleicht ein höhnisches Wort,
Während ich sterbe vor Schmerzen.

2. So hast du ganz und gar vergessen  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
So hast du ganz und gar vergessen,
Daß ich so lang dein Herz besessen,
Dein Herzchen so süß und so falsch und so klein,
Es kann nirgend was süßres [und]1 falscheres sein.

So hast du die Lieb und das Leid vergessen,
Die das Herz mir täten zusammenpressen.
Ich weiß nicht, war Liebe größer als Leid?
Ich weiß nur, sie waren groß alle beid!
