Aus der Mappe eines wandernden Musikanten: 6 Gesänge

by Gustav Bergmann (1837 - 1892)

1. Du fragst mich  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Du fragst mich, du mein [blondes]1 Lieb,
Warum so stumm mein Mund?
Weil mir die Liebe sitzet,
        Heimlich sitzet
    Im Herzensgrund.

Kann denn die Flamme singen,
Wenn sie zum Himmel will?
Sie schlägt die Flügel hoch und roth,
        So hoch und roth,
    Und doch so still.

Die Ros' [auch kann]2 nicht sprechen,
Wenn sie zur Blüth' erwacht;
Sie glüht und duftet stumm hindurch,
        Stumm hindurch
    Die Sommernacht.

So ist auch meine Minne,
Seit du dich mir geneigt;
Sie glüht und blüht im Sinne,
        Tief im Sinne,
    Aber sie schweigt.
