Vier Lieder für 1 Singstimme mit Pianofortebegleitung , opus 4

by William Humphreys Dayas (1863 - 1903)

1. Das verlassene Mägdelein  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Früh, [wann]1 die Hähne kräh'n,
[Eh']2 die Sternlein [verschwinden]3,
Muß ich am [Herde stehn]4,
Muß Feuer zünden.

Schön ist der [Flammen]5 Schein,
[Es]6 springen die Funken.
Ich schaue so [drein]7,
In Leid versunken.

Plötzlich, da kommt es mir,
Treuloser Knabe,
Daß ich die Nacht von dir
Geträumet habe.

Träne auf Träne dann
Stürzet hernieder;
So kommt der Tag heran -
O ging' er wieder!

2. Sag', ich laß sie grüßen  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Leise [zieht]1 durch mein Gemüth
Liebliches Geläute.
Klinge, kleines Frühlingslied,
Kling' hinaus in's Weite.

[Kling']2 hinaus bis an das Haus,
Wo die [Blumen]3 sprießen.
Wenn du eine Rose schaust,
Sag' ich lass' sie grüßen.

3. Am Friedhof  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich stand an eines Friedhofs Mauer
und sah darinnen Grab um Grab.
„Wie viel,“ so dachte ich mit Trauer,
„sank hier an Hoffnung wohl hinab!“

Da hub ein Vöglein an zu singen,
so sanft - ich horchte staunend zu;
mir war's, als hört' ich's leise klingen:
„Wie viele Qual kam hier zur Ruh'!“
