Drei Lieder für 1 Singstimme mit Pianoforte , opus 2

by Siegfried Salomon (flourished 1895+)

1. Lied des Gefangenen  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
[Wie]1 lieblicher Klang!
O Lerche! dein Sang,
[Er hebt sich, er schwingt]2 sich in Wonne.
Du nimmst mich von hier,
Ich singe mit dir,
Wir steigen durch Wolken zur Sonne.

O Lerche! du neigst
Dich nieder, du schweigst,
Du sinkst in die blühenden Auen.
Ich schweige zumal
Und sinke zuthal,
Ach! tief in Moder und Grauen.

3. Scheiden und Meiden  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
[So soll]1 ich [dich nun]2 meiden,
Du meines Lebens Lust!
Du küssest mich zum Scheiden,
Ich drücke dich an die Brust!

Ach, Liebchen, heißt das meiden,
Wenn man sich herzt und küßt?
Ach, Liebchen, heißt das scheiden,
Wenn man sich fest umschließt?
