Sechs Lieder

Song Cycle by Akhilles Nikolayevich Alferaki (1846 - 1919)

6. An deine Schneeweiße Schulter  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
An deine schneeweiße Schulter
Hab ich mein Haupt gelehnt,
Und heimlich kann ich behorchen,
Wonach dein Herz sich sehnt.

[Es]1 blasen die blauen Husaren,
Und reiten zum Tor herein,
Und morgen will mich verlassen
Die Herzallerliebste mein.

Und willst du mich morgen verlassen,
So bist du doch heute noch mein,
Und in deinen schönen Armen
Will [ich doppelt selig]1 sein.
