Vier Lieder für 1 hohe Singstimme mit Pianofortebegleitung , opus 40

by James Rothstein (b. 1871)

1. Zu spät  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich kann das Wort nicht vergessen,
Es klang so traurig und schwer.
Dein Stimmlein hör ich schluchzen,
Ich weiß, du liebst mich nicht mehr.

Der Abend sank auf die Felder,
Vom Tage nur noch ein Rest.
Die letzten Krähen flogen
[Nach]1 fernen Wäldern zu Nest.

Nun sind wir weit geschieden 
Auf Nimmerwiederkehr.
Ich kann das Wort nicht vergessen:
Ich weiß, du liebst mich nicht mehr.
