Drei Lieder für 3 Oberstimmen , opus 21

by Heinrich Kaspar Schmid (1874 - 1953)

Translations available for the entire opus: ENG 

1. Maria auf dem Berge  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: Silesian (Schlesisch) 
Uf' m Berg, da giht der Wind,
da wiegt de Maria ihr Kind
mit ihrer schlohengelweißen Hand;
sie hatt' ach derzu keen Wiegenband.
Uf' m Berg, da giht der Wind,
da wiegt de Maria ihr Kind.

Maria:
"Ach, Joseph, Joseph, liebster Joseph mein,
ach, hilf mer wiegen mei Knabelein!"

Joseph:
"Wie kann ich d'r denn dei Knabla wieg'n,
ich kann ja doch selber kaum de Fingerla bieg'n."

Schu -- schu -- schu.

2. Ständchen  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
[Hör]1 es klagt die Flöte wieder
Und die kühlen [Brunnen]2 rauschen,
Golden wehn die Töne nieder,
Stille, [stille]3, laß uns lauschen!

Holdes Bitten, mild Verlangen,
[Wie es süß zum Herzen spricht]4!
Durch die Nacht die mich umfangen,
Blickt zu mir der Töne Licht.

3. Die Schnitterin  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Vor einem grünen Walde,
Da liegt ein sanfter Rain,
Da sah ich auf der Halde
Ein rosig Mägdelein.

Das fährt mit ihrer blanken,
Geschliffnen Sichel 'rum
Und mähet in Gedanken
Die schönsten Blümlein um.

Kuckuck ruft immer weiter
Im Holz den ganzen Tag
Und alles prophezeit er,
Was ihr gefallen mag.

  • by Friedrich Hermann Frey (1839 - 1911), as Martin Greif, "Die Schnitterin", appears in Gedichte, in Balladen und Romanzen [later, Romanzen und Balladen]
