Vier Lieder

Song Cycle by Franz Salmhofer (1900 - 1975)

1. Lied einer jungen Mutter  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Träume, träume, du mein süßes Leben,
Von dem Himmel, der die Blumen bringt.
Blüten schimmern da, die [leben]1
Von dem Lied, das deine Mutter singt.

Träume, träume, Knospe meiner Sorgen,
Von dem Tage, da die Blume [sproß;]2
Von dem hellen Blütenmorgen,
Da dein Seelchen sich der Welt [erschloß.]3

Träume, träume, Blüte meiner Liebe,
Von der stillen, von der heilgen Nacht,
Da die Blume seiner Liebe
Diese Welt zum Himmel mir gemacht.

2. Vigilie  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Die falben Felder schlafen schon,

Traumselige Vigilie! 
Jetzt wallt die Nacht durchs Land;
der Mond, die weiße Lilie 
blüht auf in ihrer Hand.
