Zwei Lieder für 1 Singstimme mit Pianoforte

by Martin Levy (flourished 1885-1892)

1. Die Bekehrte  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Bei dem Glanz der Abendröthe
Ging ich still den Wald entlang,
Damon saß und blies die Flöte,
Daß es von den Felsen klang,
So la la! . . .

Und er zog mich [zu]1 sich nieder,
Küßte mich so [hold, so]2 süß.
Und ich sagte: blase wieder!
Und der gute Junge blies,
So la la! . . .

Meine [Ruh]3 ist nun verloren,
Meine Freude floh davon,
Und ich [hör']4 vor meinen Ohren
Immer nur den alten Ton,
So la la, le ralla! . . .

2. An Gesunde und Genesende  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Das holde Tal hat schon die Sonne wieder
mit Frühlingsblüt' und Blumen angefüllt,
die Nachtigall singt immer neue Lieder
dem Hochgefühl, das ihr entgegenquillt.

Erfreue dich der gottverliehnen Gaben,
froh, wie er dich erschuf,
will er dich haben.
