Drei Lieder für 1 Singstimme mit Pianoforte , opus 8

by Felix vom Rath (1866 - 1905)

Translations available for the entire opus: DUT 

1. Selbstbeschwerung  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
    O süßer Mai, 
Der Strom ist frei,
Ich steh verschlossen, 
Mein Aug' verdrossen,
Ich seh nicht deine grüne Tracht,
Nicht deine buntgeblümte Pracht,
Nicht dein Himmelblau, 
Zur Erd' ich schau;
O süßer Mai, 
Mich lasse frei,
Wie den Gesang 
An den [dunkeln]1 Hecken entlang.

3. Abendständchen  [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.
