Fünf Lieder nach Gerhart Hauptmann , opus 40

by Robert Kahn (1865 - 1951)

1. Weiss nicht, woher ich kommen bin  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Weiß nicht, woher ich kommen bin;
Weiß nicht, wohin ich geh:
ob ich ein Waldvöglein bin
oder eine Fee.
Die Blumen, die da quillen,
den Wald mit Ruch erfüllen,
hat einer je vernommen,
woher die sind [kommen]1?
Aber manchmal fühl' ich ein Brennen:
Möchte so [gerne]2 Vater und Mutter kennen.
Kann es nicht sein,
füg' ich mich drein.
Bin doch ein schönes, goldhaariges Waldfräulein.
