Sechs Lieder für Mezzosopran mit Pianofortebegleitung , opus 17

by Hans Michael Schletterer (1824 - 1893)

Translations available for the entire opus: ENG FRE 

1. Das verlassene Mägdlein  [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. Der Fichtenbaum  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ein [Fichtenbaum]1 steht einsam
Im Norden auf kahler Höh';
Ihn schläfert; mit weißer Decke
Umhüllen ihn Eis und Schnee.

Er träumt von einer Palme,
Die fern im Morgenland,
Einsam und [schweigend]2 trauert
Auf brennender Felsenwand.

3. Aus meinen Thränen spriessen  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Aus meinen Tränen sprießen
Viel blühende Blumen hervor,

Ein Nachtigallenchor.

Und wenn du mich lieb hast, Kindchen,
Schenk' ich dir die Blumen all',
Und vor deinem Fenster soll klingen
Das Lied der Nachtigall.

4. Flieg' auf, flieg' auf, Frau Schwalbe mein   [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Flieg' auf, flieg' auf, Frau Schwalbe mein,
Du sollst mein Liebesbote sein;
Flieg' auf, flieg' fort über Berg und Tal
Und grüße und grüß' ihn viel tausendmal!

Und sag' ihm, wie in Not und Pein
Die Tage zählend ich harre sein,
Und wie mein armes Herz so schwer,
Und daß er doch bald wiederkehr!

5. Nun die Schatten dunkeln   [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
[Nun]1 die Schatten dunkeln,
Stern [an]2 Stern erwacht:
Welch ein Hauch der Sehnsucht
Flutet [in der]3 Nacht!

Durch das [Meer]4 der Träume
Steuert ohne Ruh',
[Steuert]5 meine Seele
Deiner Seele zu.

Die sich dir ergeben,
Nimm sie ganz dahin!
Ach, du weißt, daß nimmer
Ich [mein]6 eigen bin.

6. Des Müden Abendlied  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Verglommen ist das Abendrot,
Da tönt ein fernes Klingen;
Ich glaube fast, das ist der Tod,
Der will in Schlaf mich singen.
O [singe]1 nur zu,
Du Spielmann du!
Du sollst mir Frieden bringen.

Ein weiches Bette der Rasen giebt,
[Es säuseln so kühl]2 die Cypressen,
[Und was ich gelebt, und was]3 ich geliebt,
Ich will es [alles]4 vergessen.
Keinen Ruhm, kein Glück,
Laß ich zurück,
[Hab']5 nichts als Schmerzen besessen.

So fahr denn wohl, du arge Welt,
Mit deinen bunten Schäumen!
Was dich ergötzt, was dir gefällt,
Wie gern will ich's versäumen!
Schon wehet die Nacht
Mich an so sacht;
Nun [laßt]6 mich ruhn und träumen.
