Zwei Lieder für eine Singstimme mit Pianoforte , opus 30

by Wenzel Theodor Bradsky (1833 - 1881)

Translations available for the entire opus: DUT 

1. Die stille Wasserrose  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
[Die stille Wasserrose]1
Steigt aus dem blauen See,
[Die Blätter flimmern und blitzen]2,
Der Kelch ist weiß wie Schnee.

Da gießt der Mond vom Himmel
All' seinen gold'nen Schein,
Gießt alle seine Strahlen
In ihren Schooß hinein.

Im Wasser um die Blume
Kreiset ein weißer Schwan,
Er [singt]3 so süß, so leise
Und schaut die Blume an.

Er singt so süß, so leise
Und will im Singen vergehn --
O Blume, weiße Blume,
Kannst du das Lied verstehn?
