Twee liederen

Song Cycle by Jan Pieter Hendrik van Gilse (1881 - 1944)

1. Die Eigensinnige  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Die Lor' sitzt im Garten,
Kehrt den Rücken zumal
Und verbirgt mir der Augen
Himmlischen Strahl.

Ihr goldbrauner Haarwuchs
Weht über den Zaun;
Den Rotmund, das Weisskinn
Doch lässt sie nicht schaun.

Sie lässet erklingen
Ihrer Stimme Getön;
O du boshafte Hexe,
Wie klingt es so schön!

2. Ein kleines Lied  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
  Ein kleines Lied, wie geht's nur an,

Ein wenig Wohllaut und Gesang
Und eine ganze Seele.
