Drei Lieder für 1 Singstimme mit Pianoforte , opus 6

by (Carl) August Fischer (1828 - 1892)

1. Nun grünt der Berg  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Nun grünt der Berg, nun blüht das Tal
  In Maienlust und Duft,
Und Vogelsang und Sonnenstrahl
  Wogt durch die linde Luft.

Was Leben hat, das lobt den Mai
  In Blüten und Gesang,
Komm süsses Lieb, dass nicht uns zwei
  Der Frühling [schelte]1 krank.

Die liebste Ehr', die ihm geschieht
  Zu dieser schönen Zeit
Ist doch, wenn Aug' in Auge sieht
  Voll stiller Seligkeit.

2. Ich will meine Seele tauchen  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich will meine Seele tauchen
In den Kelch der Lilie hinein;
Die Lilie soll [klingend]1 hauchen
Ein Lied von der Liebsten mein.

Das Lied soll [schauern]2 und beben
Wie der Kuß von ihrem Mund,
Den sie mir einst gegeben
In wunderbar süßer Stund'.

3. Wiegenlied  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Schlafe, mein Kindlein, schlafe in Ruh',
rauschen's die Bäume doch draußen dir zu,
Abendwind flüstert es leise und lind:
Schlafe, o schlafe, du liebliches Kind!

Schlafe, die Mutter wacht, was braucht es  mehr,
und ihre Liebe schwebt treu um dich her.
Mutteraug' schließt sich nicht, eh' du zur Ruh',
schlafe d'rum, Kindlein, schlaf, Liebchen, nur zu!

Einst braust der Sturmwind wohl über dein Haupt,
wenn dir die Mutter längst, längst schon geraubt.
Schlafe d'rum, Herzchen, schlafe noch heut',
bald ist entschwunden die selige Zeit!
