Zwei Lieder für gemischten Chor

by Carl Eugen Gross

Sommerblumenzeit

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ist die Sommerblumenzeit
Endlich doch gekommen?
Hätt' sie mir nur nicht so weit
Meinen Schatz genommen!

Blies ein kalter Wind im Mai,
Klagten alle Leute,
Aber heimlich doch wir Zwei
Wußten, was uns freute.

Jetzt von all der Sommerpracht
Schwatzen alle Staren --
Daß ich weinte gestern Nacht,
Niemand hat's erfahren.

In der Sommerblumenzeit,
In den schönsten Tagen --
Wär' mein Schatz nur nicht so weit,
Wer hätt' was zu klagen!
