6 Gesänge , opus 6

by Otto Claudius (1795 - 1877)

4. Wend', o wende diesen Blick  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wend', o wende diesen Blick,
dem Aurora dämmert nur!
Und die Lippe zeich zurück,
voll so süßem falschen Schwur;
meine Treu nur, oft, ach! Ihr
aufgeküßt, gieb -- wieder mir!

Hüll, o hüll den Busen zart,
wo auf Hügeln Schnee und kalt
Knospen blühen -- ach! der Art,
wie April sie niederwallt.
In des kalten Eises Schoos
Liegt mein Herz; ach! gieb mir's los!
