Vier Lieder , opus 22

by Leander Schlegel (1844 - 1913)

Translations available for the entire opus: CAT ENG FRE ITA 

1. Wo ich bin  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wo ich bin, mich rings umdunkelt
Finsterniß so dumpf und dicht,
Seit mir nicht mehr leuchtend funkelt,
Liebste, deiner Augen Licht.

[Mir]1 erloschen ist der süßen
Liebessterne goldne Pracht,
Abgrund gähnt zu meinen Füßen.
Nimm mich auf, uralte Nacht.

1 Strauss: "Wie"

2. Sie haben heut' abend Gesellschaft  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Sie [haben]1 heut' abend Gesellschaft
Und das Haus ist lichterfüllt.
Dort oben am [hohen]2 Fenster
Bewegt sich ein Schattenbild.

Du [siehst]3 mich nicht, im Dunkeln
Steh' ich hier unten allein,
Noch weniger kannst du schauen
In mein dunkles Herz hinein.

Mein dunkles Herze liebt dich,
Es liebt dich und es bricht,
[Es]4 bricht und zuckt und verblutet,
[Du aber]5 siehst es nicht.
