Zwei Lieder für 1 Singstimme mit Pianofortebegleitung , opus 10

by Gustav Götze

Translations available for the entire opus: CAT ENG FRE 

1. Der Brautring  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Als über den Flieder das Mondlicht rann,
Da steckt' er mir heimlich ein Ringlein an,
Und küßte den Ring und die Hand dazu
Und lauschte selig dem ersten "Du".

Das Mondenlicht sah in den Ring hinein,
Das gab einen fröhlichen, hellen Schein,
Der Fliederbaum neigte die Blüten stumm,
Die Gräser raunten: "Das Glück geht um!"

2. Vom Küssen  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
War ich gar so jung und dumm,
Wollte gerne wissen:
"Warum ist mein Mund so roth?"
Sprach der Mai:
             "Zum Küssen."

Als der Nebel schlich durch's Land,
Hab' ich fragen müssen:
"Warum ist mein Mund so blaß?"
Sprach der Herbst:
             "Vom Küssen."
