Liederkreis [23 Lieder]

Song Cycle by August von Othegraven (1864 - 1946)

19. Ach, ich sehne mich nach Tränen  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ach, ich sehne mich nach Tränen,
Liebestränen, [schmerzenmild]1,
Und ich fürchte, dieses Sehnen
Wird am Ende noch erfüllt.

Ach, der Liebe süßes Elend
Und der Liebe bittre Lust
Schleicht sich wieder, himmlisch quälend,
In die kaum genes'ne Brust.

21. Wie des Mondes Abbild zittert  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wie des Mondes Abbild zittert
In den wilden Meereswogen,
Und er selber still und sicher
Wandelt an dem Himmelsbogen:

Also wandelst du, Geliebte,
Still und sicher, und es zittert
Nur dein Abbild mir im Herzen,
Weil mein eig'nes Herz erschüttert.
