Sechs Lieder , opus 43

by James Martin Simon (1880 - 1944)

1. Singende Flammen
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Zwei Flammen steigen schlank empor
in stiller, weißer Wacht,
sie singen einen leisen Chor
empor zur Nacht,z
ur Nacht.

Zwiefacher Liebe Dankgebeter
tönt in zarter Pracht,
der Erde Doppelseele weht
empor zur Nacht,
zur Nacht.

3. Es rauscht durch unseren Schlaf
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Es rauscht durch unseren Schlaf
Ein feines Wehen wie Seide,
Wie pochendes Erblühen
Über uns beide.

Und ich werde heimwärts
Von deinem Atem getragen,
Durch verzauberte Märchen,
Durch verschüttete Sagen.

Und mein Dornenlächeln spielt
Mit deinen urtiefen Zügen,
Und es kommen die Erden
Sich an uns zu schmiegen.

Es rauscht durch unseren Schlaf
Ein feines Wehen wie Seide –
Der weltalte Traum
Segnet uns beide.

6. Die Nacht kam her so wundervoll  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Die Nacht kam her so wundervoll
Wie ein von Gott gesandtes Grüssen;
Der Mond, der aus dem Dunklen schwoll,
Schien alle Wehmut zu versüssen.

Mein Herz, das mir im Busen schwoll,
Das wusste nur von deiner Milde;
Die Nacht kam her so zaubervoll,
Als grüsste sie mit deinem Bilde
