Acht Lieder nach Texten von Heinrich Heine , opus 24

by Gerard Bunk (1888 - 1958)

1. Hör' ich das Liedchen klingen  [sung text not yet checked]

Hör' ich das Liedchen klingen,
Das einst die Liebste sang,
[So will mir die Brust]1 zerspringen
[Vor]2 wildem [Schmerzendrang.]3

[Es treibt mich]4 ein dunkles Sehnen
Hinauf [zur]5 Waldeshöh',
Dort löst sich auf in Tränen
Mein übergroßes Weh'.

2. Es treibt mich hin, es treibt mich her!  [sung text not yet checked]

Es treibt mich hin, es treibt mich her!
Noch wenige Stunden, dann soll ich sie schauen,
sie selber, die schönste der schönen Jungfrauen; -
du [treues]1 Herz, was pochst du so schwer!

Die Stunden sind aber ein faules Volk!
Schleppen sich behaglich träge,
schleichen gähnend ihre Wege; -
tummle dich, du faules Volk!

Tobende Eile mich treibend erfaßt!
Aber wohl niemals liebten die Horen; -
heimlich im grausamen Bunde verschworen,
spotten sie tückisch der Liebenden Hast.

3. Ich will meine Seele tauchen  [sung text not yet checked]

Ich will meine Seele tauchen
In den Kelch der Lilie hinein;
Die Lilie soll [klingend]1 hauchen
Ein Lied von der Liebsten mein.

Das Lied soll [schauern]2 und beben
Wie der Kuß von ihrem Mund,
Den sie mir einst gegeben
In wunderbar süßer Stund'.

4. Es schauen die Blumen alle  [sung text not yet checked]

Es schauen die Blumen alle
Zur leuchtenden Sonne hinauf;
Es nehmen die Ströme alle
Zum leuchtenden Meere den Lauf.

Es flattern die Lieder alle
Zu meinem leuchtenden Lieb -
Nehmt mit meine Tränen und Seufzer,
Ihr Lieder, wehmütig und trüb!

5. Die Fensterschau  [sung text not yet checked]

Der bleiche Heinrich ging vorbei,
Schön Hedwig lag am Fenster.
Sie sprach halblaut: »Gott steh mir bei,
Der unten schaut bleich wie Gespenster!«

Der unten erhebt sein Aug in die Höh,
Hinschmachtend nach Hedewigs Fenster.
Schön Hedwig ergriff es wie Liebesweh,
Auch sie ward bleich wie Gespenster.

Schön Hedwig stand nun mit Liebesharm
Tagtäglich lauernd am Fenster.
Bald aber lag sie in Heinrichs Arm,
Allnächtlich zur Zeit der Gespenster.

6. Am fernen Horizonte  [sung text not yet checked]

Am fernen Horizonte
Erscheint, wie ein Nebelbild,
Die Stadt mit ihren Thürmen,
In Abenddämmrung gehüllt.

Ein feuchter Windzug kräuselt
Die graue Wasserbahn;
Mit traurigem Tacte rudert
Der Schiffer in meinem Kahn.

Die Sonne hebt sich noch einmal
Leuchtend vom Boden empor,
Und zeigt mir jene Stelle,
Wo ich das Liebste verlor.

7. Die Botschaft  [sung text not yet checked]

Mein Knecht! steh auf und sattle schnell,
Und wirf dich auf dein Roß,
Und jage rasch durch Wald und Feld
Nach König Duncans Schloß.

Dort schleiche in den Stall, und wart,
Bis dich der Stallbub schaut.
Den forsch mir aus: "Sprich, welche ist
Von Duncans Töchtern Braut?"

Und spricht der Bub: "Die Braune ist's",
So bring mir schnell die Mär.
Doch spricht der Bub: "Die Blonde ist's",
So eilt das nicht so sehr.

Dann geh zum Meister Seiler hin,
Und kauf mir einen Strick,
Und reite langsam, sprich kein Wort,
Und bring mir den zurück.

Andre beten zur Madonne,
Andre auch zu Paul und Peter;
Ich jedoch, ich will nur beten,
Nur zu dir, du schöne Sonne.

Gib mir Küsse, gib mir Wonne,
Sei mir gütig, sei mir gnädig,
Schönste Sonne unter den Mädchen,
Schönstes Mädchen unter der Sonne!
