Vier Lieder

Song Cycle by Johann (Hans) Bauernfeind (1908 - 1985)

1. Es gibt so wunderweiße Nächte  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Es gibt so [wunderweiße]1 Nächte,
drin alle Dinge Silber sind.
Da schimmert mancher Stern so lind,
als ob er fromme Hirten brächte
zu einem neuen Jesuskind.

Weit wie mit dichtem Diamantenstaube 
bestreut, erscheinen Flur und Flut,
und in die Herzen, traumgemut,
steigt ein kapellenloser Glaube,
der leise seine Wunder tut.

  • by Rainer Maria Rilke (1875 - 1926), no title, appears in Traumgekrönt, in Träumen, no. 21
