Song Cycle by Richard Wintzer (1866 - 1952)

3. Ich will meine Seele tauchen [sung text not yet checked]

Ich will meine Seele tauchen
In den Kelch der Lilie hinein;
Die Lilie soll [klingend]¹ hauchen
Ein Lied von der Liebsten mein.

Das Lied soll [schauern]² und beben
Wie der Kuß von ihrem Mund,
Den sie mir einst gegeben
In wunderbar süßer Stund'.

4. Am fernen Horizonte [sung text not yet checked]

Am fernen Horizonte
Erscheint, wie ein Nebelbild,
Die Stadt mit ihren Thürmen,
In Abenddämmrung gehüllt.

Ein feuchter Windzug kräuselt
Die graue Wasserbahn;
Mit traurigem Tacte rudert
Der Schiffer in meinem Kahn.

Die Sonne hebt sich noch einmal
Leuchtend vom Boden empor,
Und zeigt mir jene Stelle,
Wo ich das Liebste verlor.
