Zwei Lieder , opus 3

by Max Kretschmar

Translations available for the entire opus: FRE 

1. Auf dem Meere  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Es träumte mir von einer weiten Heide,
[Weit]1 überdeckt von stillem, weißem Schnee,
Und unterm weißen Schnee lag ich begraben
Und schlief den einsam kalten Todesschlaf.

Doch droben aus dem dunkeln Himmel schauten
Herunter auf mein Grab die Sternenaugen,
Die süßen Augen! und sie glänzten sieghaft
Und ruhig heiter, aber voller Liebe.

2. Kein Haus, keine Heimat  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
[ ... ]

Kein Haus, keine Heimat,
Kein Weib und kein Kind,
So wirbl' ich, ein Strohhalm,
In Wetter und Wind!

Well' auf und Well' nieder,
Bald dort und bald hier;
Welt, fragst du nach mir nicht,
Was frag' ich nach dir?
