Fünf Lieder , opus 4

by Erich van Ennes

1. Im Walde wandl' ich und weine  [sung text not yet checked]

Im Walde wandl' ich und weine,
die Drossel sitzt in der Höh;
sie springt und singt gar feine:
Warum ist dir so weh?

"Die Schwalben, deine Schwestern,
die könnens dir sagen, mein Kind;
sie wohnten in klugen Nestern,
wo Liebchens Fenster sind."

2. Seit die Liebste war entfernt  [sung text not yet checked]

Seit die Liebste [war]1 entfernt,
[Hatt']2 ich's Lachen ganz verlernt.
Schlechten Witz [riß]3 mancher Wicht,
Aber lachen konnt' ich nicht.

Seit ich sie verloren hab,
Schafft' ich auch das Weinen ab;
[Fast]4 vor Weh das Herz mir bricht,
Aber weinen kann ich nicht.

3. Morgens steh' ich auf und frage  [sung text not yet checked]

Morgens steh' ich auf und frage:
Kommt feins Liebchen heut?
Abends sink' ich hin und klage:
Aus blieb sie auch heut.
 
In der Nacht mit meinem Kummer
lieg' ich schlaflos, [wach]1;
träumend, wie im halben Schlummer,
träumend wandle ich bei Tag.

4. Du bist wie eine Blume  [sung text not yet checked]

  Du bist wie eine Blume
[So hold und schön und rein;]1
Ich schau' dich an, und Wehmut
Schleicht mir ins Herz hinein.

  Mir ist, als ob [ich]2 die Hände
Aufs Haupt [dir]3 legen sollt',
[Betend]4, daß [Gott dich]5 erhalte
[So rein und schön und hold.]1
