Zwei Lieder der Stille für Altstimme und Bratsche

by Hilde Kocher-Klein (1894 - 1975)

1. Wiegenlied  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Singet leise, leise, leise,
singt eine flüsternd Wiegenlied;
von dem Monde lernt die Weise,
der so still am Himmel zieht.

Denn es schlummern in dem Rheine
Jetzt die lieben Kinder klein,
Ameleya wacht alleine
Weinend in dem Mondenschein.

Singt ein Lied so süß gelinde,
wie die Quelle auf den Kieseln,
wie die Bienen um die Linde
summen, murmeln, flüstern, rieseln.

  • by Clemens Maria Wenzeslaus von Brentano (1778 - 1842), title 1: "Lureley", title 2: "Wiegenlied", appears in Die Märchen
