5 Gesänge nach Rainer Maria Rilke, Joseph von Eichendorff, Theodor Storm

Song Cycle by Theodor Blumer (1881 - 1964)

2. Du, der ich’s nicht sage  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Du, der ichs nicht sage, daß ich bei Nacht
weinend liege,
deren Wesen mich müde macht
wie eine Wiege.
Du, die mir nicht sagt, wenn sie wacht
Meinetwillen:
wie, wenn wir diese Pracht
ohne zu stillen
in uns ertrügen?
