Vokalquartette für Sopran, Alt, Tenor und Bass mit Klavierbegleitung , opus 27

by Frank Leland Limbert (1866 - 1938)

1. Süßes Begräbniss  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Schäferin, [o]1 wie haben
Sie dich so süß begraben!

Alle Lüfte haben gestöhnet,
Maienglocken zu Grab dir getönet,

Glühwurm wollte die Fackel tragen,
Stern ihm selbst es tät versagen.
Nacht ging schwarz in Trauerfloren,
Und all ihre Schatten gingen in Chören
Die Tränen wird dir das Morgenrot weinen,
Und den Segen die Sonn' aufs Grab dir scheinen.

Schäferin, ach, wie haben
Sie dich so süß begraben!

2. Nachtlied  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Quellende, schwellende Nacht,
Voll von Lichtern und Sternen:
In den ewigen Fernen,
Sage, was ist da erwacht?

Herz in der Brust wird beengt;
Steigendes, neigendes Leben,
Riesenhaft fühle ich's weben,
Welches das meine verdrängt.

Schlaf, da nahst du dich leis',
Wie dem Kinde die Amme,
Und um die dürftige Flamme
Ziehst du den schützenden Kreis.
