Zwei Gesänge für Männerchor , opus 109

by Alfred Dregert (1836 - 1893)

Translations available for the entire opus: ENG 

2. Grosses Geheimniss  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Vöglein hat im Fliederbaum 
Hell sein Lied gesungen 
Und es ist mir, wie im Traum, 
Durch das Herz geklungen.  

Sang, als ob es ganz vertraut 
Mein Geheimnis wüßte, 
Sang, als hätte es geschaut, 
Wie ich jüngst sie küßte.  

Kleiner Schelm, nimm dich in Acht,  
Werde doch gescheiter!    
Was gescheh'n in jener Nacht,  
Plaudre mir nicht weiter!

Text Authorship:

  • by Otto Hausmann (1837 - 1916)
