Drei Lieder für 1 Singstimme mit Pianofortebegleitung

Song Cycle by Philipp Roth

1. Mondnacht  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Es war, als [hätt']1 der Himmel,
Die Erde still geküßt,
Daß sie im Blütenschimmer
Von ihm [nun]2 träumen müßt.

Die Luft ging durch die Felder,
Die Ähren wogten sacht,
Es rauschten leis die Wälder,
So sternklar war die Nacht.

Und meine Seele spannte
Weit ihre Flügel aus,
Flog [durch]3 die stillen [Lande]4,
Als flöge sie nach Haus.

Text Authorship:

  • by Joseph Karl Benedikt, Freiherr von Eichendorff (1788 - 1857), "Mondnacht", appears in Gedichte, in 6. Geistliche Gedichte

2. Veilchen  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Veilchen, [unter]1 Gras versteckt
Wie mit Hoffnung zugedeckt,
Veilchen, freue Dich mit mir,
Sonne kommt ja auch zu Dir.

Sonne scheint mit Liebesschein
Tief Dir in Dein Herz hinein,
Trocknet Deine Tränen Dir --
Veilchen, freue Dich mit mir!

3. Gute Nacht, du süsses Kind  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Gute Nacht, du süßes Kind,
Mögen Engel dich behüten,
Und der Schlummer leis und lind 
Streue dir die schönsten Blüten. 

Gute Nacht, und träume mild
Von den Schwesterlein, den Rosen,
Die, dein schönes Ebenbild,
Mit den Frühlingswinden kosen. 

Gute Nacht, und denke mein 
Mindestens in holden Träumen,
Mochtest so im Tagesschein
Meiner zu gedenken säumen. 

Gute Nacht, und bleib mir gut,
Lächle gültig mir entgegen;
Deiner Blicke Zauber ruht
Auf mir wie ein milder Segen. 

Gute Nacht, die Äuglein zu,
Schließ die holden Blicke gerne;  
Schöner, selbst in Schlafesruh',
Sind sie doch als alle Sterne.  

Text Authorship:

  • by Karl Ferdinand von Dräxler-Manfred (1806 - 1879), "Gute Nacht", appears in Gedichte von C. Dräxler-Manfred, in 2. Zweites Buch: Liebe, in Aufzeichnungen
