Drei Gesänge für mittlere Stimme mit Pianoforte , opus 2

by Heinrich Urban

1. In meinen Armen wieg' ich dich  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
In meinen Armen wieg' ich dich,
An meinem Herzen inniglich,
[In]1 deinen Locken spiele ich,
In [deinen Augen]2 seh' ich mich.

Und wenn die Leute fragen mich:
Was sitzest du so still für dich?
In meinen Armen wieg' ich dich,
An meinem Herzen inniglich.

Und fragen sie: was weinest du?,
Ich lächelnd ihnen Antwort thu':
[In]1 deinen Locken spiele ich,
In [deinen Augen]2 seh' ich mich.

2. Mein Herz ist wie die dunkle Nacht  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Mein Herz ist wie die dunkle Nacht,
Wenn alle Wipfel rauschen;
Da steigt der Mond in voller Pracht
Aus Wolken sacht --
Und sieh, der Wald verstummt in tiefem Lauschen.

Der Mond, der [helle]1 Mond bist du;
[Aus]2 deiner [Liebesfülle]3
Wirf [einen, einen]4 Blick mir zu 
Voll Himmelsruh --
Und sieh, dies ungestüme Herz wird stille.
