Fünf Lieder für 1 Singstimme mit Klavier , opus 17

by Mary Clement, née Mary Wilcken (1861 - c1907)

1. Schliesse mir die Augen beide   [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
[Schließe mir]1 die Augen beide
mit den lieben Händen zu;
geht doch alles, was ich leide,
unter deiner Hand zur Ruh.
Und wie leise sich der Schmerz
Well' [um]2 Welle schlafen [leget]3,
[wie]4 der letzte Schlag sich [reget]5,
füllest du mein ganzes Herz.

5. Ach, wie kann’s zur Freude taugen  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ach, wie kann's zur Freude taugen,
Einsam seines Wegs zu gehn!
Unter zärtlichen vier Augen
Ist die Welt noch eins so schön.

Kann ein Herz doch nicht erwarmen
Einzig an der Sonne Glut.
Unter zärtlichen vier Armen
Lodert wonnevoll das Blut.

Und die Brandung an den Klippen
Dieses Lebens hörst du nicht,
Wenn mit zärtlichen vier Lippen
Seele stumm zu Seele spricht.

  • by Paul Heyse (1830 - 1914), "Lied"
