Zwei Lieder , opus 14

by Evelyn Faltis (1897 - 1937)

1. Traum [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch)

Der Schlaf entführte mich in Deine Gärten,
In Deinen Traum – die Nacht war wolkenschwarz umwunden –
Wie düstere Erden starrten Deine Augenrunden,
Und Deine Blicke waren Härten.

Und zwischen uns lag eine weite, steife,
Tonlose Ebene .......
Und meine Sehnsucht hingegebene,
Küßt Deinen Mund, die blassen Lippenstreife.
