Zwei Lieder für eine Singstimme mit Klavierbegleitung , opus 7

by Eugen de Westh

Translations available for the entire opus: FRE 

1. Am Flusse  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Verfließet, vielgeliebte Lieder,
Zum Meere der Vergessenheit!
Kein [Knabe]1 sing' entzückt euch wieder,
Kein [Mädchen]2 in der Blütenzeit.

Ihr sanget nur [von]3 meiner Lieben;
Nun spricht sie meiner Treue Hohn.
Ihr wart ins Wasser eingeschrieben;
So fließt denn auch mit ihm davon.

2. Morgens   [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Nun gieb ein Morgenküßchen!
Du hast genug der Ruh;
Und setz dein zierlich Füßchen
Behende in den Schuh!

Nun schüttle von der Stirne
Der Träume blasse Spur!
Das goldene Gestirne
Erleuchtet längst die Flur.

Die Rosen in deinem Garten
[Sprangen]1 im Sonnenlicht;
Sie können [kaum]2 erwarten,
Daß deine Hand sie bricht.
