Sechs Lieder , opus 4

by J. Renaud

Translations available for the entire opus: SPA 

Wie ich dich liebe

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wie ich dich liebe,
Heiß, ohne Schranken, 
Kann ich in Worten
Nimmer gestehn:
All' meine seligsten
Liebes-Gedanken
Mögen in Klängen
Hold dich umwehn! 

Schüchterne Lieder
Können's nicht sagen,
Töne nur, Töne
Send' ich zu dir!
Wenn dich die wogenden
Himmelwärts tragen,
Ist meine Seele
Immer bei dir.

Wie sich Accorde
Suchen, umschlingen,
Drängt es zu dir, zu
Dir mich allein. 
Seliges Finden!  --  Auf
Tönenden Schwingen
Ziehen zum Himmel der
Liebe mir ein!

Heft 1 -- 1. Geträumtes Glück  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Als die junge Rose blühte
Und die Nachtigall gesungen,
Hast du mich geherzt, geküsset,
Und mit Zärtlichkeit umschlungen.

Nun der Herbst die Ros entblättert
Und die Nachtigall vertrieben,
Bist du auch davon geflogen
Und ich bin allein geblieben.

Lang und kalt sind schon die Nächte -
Sag wie lange wirst du säumen?
Soll ich immer mich begnügen
Nur von altem Glück zu träumen?

Language: German (Deutsch) 
  Du bist wie eine Blume
[So hold und schön und rein;]1
Ich [schau']2 dich an, und Wehmut

Aufs Haupt [dir]4 legen sollt',
[Betend]5, daß [Gott dich]6 erhalte
[So rein und schön und hold]7.
