Lieder , opus 16

by (Karl) Friedrich Curschmann (1805 - 1841)

1. Canzonetta : Öffne die Augen, Tancred
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Öffne die Augen, Tancredi, die Leichenfeier
anzusehen, die ich mit Thränen dir bereite!
O blick' auf mich, lass' mich mit dir ihn gehen,
den langen Pfad, und sterben dir zur Seite.
O fliehe nicht so schnell aus meiner Nähe,
dies ist das Letzte, was ich von dir erflehe.

Based on:

1. Canzonetta : Apri gli occhi, Tancredi
 (Sung text)

Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Apri gli occhi, Tancredi, a queste estreme
Esequie meste, ch'io ti fo col pianto;
Riguarda me, che vo' venirne insieme
La lunga strada, e vo' morirti accanto.
Riguarda me; non ten fuggir sì presto:
L'ultimo dono, ch'io ti dimando, è questo.

2. An sie  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wenn ich in deine Augen [seh']1,
So schwindet [all' mein Leid]2 und Weh; 
Doch wenn ich küße deinen Mund,
So werd' ich ganz und gar gesund.

Wenn ich mich lehn' an deine Brust,
Kommt's über mich wie Himmelslust;
Doch wenn du sprichst: ich liebe dich!
[So]3 muß ich weinen bitterlich.

  • by Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856), no title, appears in Buch der Lieder, in Lyrisches Intermezzo, no. 4

3. Ruhe der Liebe
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Du bist die Ruh,
Der Friede mild,
Die Sehnsucht du,
Und was sie stillt.

Ich weihe dir
Voll Lust und Schmerz
Zur Wohnung hier
Mein Aug' und Herz.

Kehr' bei mir ein,
Und schließe du
Still hinter dir
Die Pforten zu.

Treib andern Schmerz
Aus dieser Brust.
Voll sey dies Herz
Voll deiner Lust.

4. Wiegenlied  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Schlaf', mein Kind, schlaf' ein!
Schließ deine Äugelein!
Sei ruhig nun und schließ sie zu,
Dann hat dein liebes Herz auch Ruh.
Schlaf', mein Kind, schlaf' ein!

Schlaf', mein Kind, schlaf' ein!
Bald kommt der Sonnenschein,
Der wecket auf die Blumen all
Und Schmetterling und Nachtigall.
Schlaf', mein Kind, schlaf' ein!

Schlaf', mein Kind, schlaf' ein!
O schöner Sonnenschein,
So komm doch her, komm her geschwind
Und weck' auch auf mein liebes Kind!
Schlaf', mein Kind, schlaf' ein!

Schlaf', mein Kind, schlaf' ein!
Er blickt durchs Fensterlein,
Als wollt' er sagen: seht doch, seht,
Wie Alles schön im Garten steht!
Schlaf', mein Kind, schlaf' ein!

Schlaf', mein Kind, schlaf' ein!
Schließ deine Aeugelein!
Sei ruhig nun und schließ sie zu,
Dann hat dein liebes Herz auch Ruh.
Schlaf', mein Kind, schlaf' ein!

Text Authorship:

  • by August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben (1798 - 1874), no title, appears in Kinderlieder, in Wiegenlieder II, no. 2

See other settings of this text.

Confirmed with Kinderlieder von Hoffmann von Fallersleben. Erste vollständige Ausgabe besorgt durch Dr. Lionel von Donop, Zweite Auflage, Berlin, G. Grote'sche Verlagsbuchhandlung, 1878, pages 183-184.

Note: in many older editions, the spelling of the word "Äugelein" becomes "Aeugelein", but as can be seen in how "über" becomes "Ueber" when capitalized, this is due to the printing process and not to rules of orthography, so we use "Äugelein".
