Vier Lieder für 1 Singstimme mit Pianofortebegleitung , opus 7

by Henning Karl Adam von Koss (1855 - 1913)

1. Ich will meine Seele tauchen  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich will meine Seele tauchen
In den Kelch der Lilie hinein;
Die Lilie soll [klingend]1 hauchen
Ein Lied von der Liebsten mein.

Das Lied soll [schauern]2 und beben
Wie der Kuß von ihrem Mund,
Den sie mir einst gegeben
In wunderbar süßer Stund'.

2. Verlust  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich hatte eine Nachtigall,
Die sang so schön, die sang so schön;
Sie ist davon geflogen,
Weit über Thal und Höh'n.
 
Ich hatt' ein junges Röselein,
So frisch und klar, so frisch und klar;
Es [ist]1 mir weggestohlen,
[Derweil]2 ich ferne war.
 
Ich hatte einen lieben Schatz,
[Mein Glück, mein Glanz, mein Glück, mein Glanz;]3
Sie ist davon gezogen,
Trug einen Myrthenkranz.
