Three Lieder , opus 22

by Erich Wolfgang Korngold (1897 - 1957)

Translations available for the entire opus: ENG 

1. Was Du mir bist?
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Was Du mir bist?
Der Ausblick in ein schönes Land,
Wo fruchtbelad'ne Bäume ragen,
Blumen blüh'n am Quellenrand.

Was Du mir bist?
Der Sterne Funkeln, das Gewölk durchbricht,
Der ferne Lichtstrahl, der im Dunkeln spricht:
O Wanderer, verzage nicht!

Und war mein Leben auch Entsagen,
Glänzte mir kein froh' Geschick -
Was Du mir bist? Kannst Du noch fragen?
Mein Glaube an das Glück.

2. Mit Dir zu schweigen
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Mit Dir zu schweigen still im Dämmerschein,
Die Seele an der Träume Schoß gelehnt -
Ist Lauschen ew'gen Melodei'n,
Ist Liebe ohne End'...

Mit Dir zu schweigen in der Dämmerzeit,
Ist Schweben nach der Welten großer Fülle,
Ist Wachsen weit in die Unendlichkeit,
Entrückt in ewige Stille...

3. Welt ist stille eingeschlafen
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Welt ist stille eingeschlafen,
Ruht im Mondenschein.
Öffnen sich im Himmelshafen
Augen, golden, rein.

Gottes Geige singt jetzt leise -
Liebste, denk' an Dich.
Wie im Traumboot geht die Reise,
Such' in Sternen Dich.

Strahlen seliger Lieb' erhellen
Meines Herzens Raum.
Zwiesprach' halten unsere Seelen,
Küssen sich im Traum.
