Vier heitere Lieder

Song Cycle by Victor Junk (1875 - 1948)

2. Im Grünen zu singen  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Hörtest du denn nicht hinein,
Daß Musik das Haus umschlich?
Nacht war schwer und ohne Schein,
Doch der sanft auf hartem Stein
Lag und spielte, das war ich.

Was ich konnte, sprach ich aus:
"Liebste du, mein Alles Du!"
Östlich brach [ein]1 Licht heraus,
Schwerer Tag trieb mich nach Haus,
Und mein Mund ist wieder zu.
