Hebräische Balladen für Gesang und Violine (Bleistiftskizze)

by Wolfgang Fraenkel (1897 - 1983)

1. Ruth  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Und du suchst mich vor den Hecken.
Ich höre deine Schritte seufzen
Und meine Augen sind schwere dunkle Tropfen.

In meiner Seele blühen süß deine Blicke
Und füllen sich,
Wenn meine Augen in den Schlaf wandeln.

Am Brunnen meiner Heimat
Steht ein Engel,
Der singt das Lied meiner Liebe,
Der singt das Lied Ruths.
