2 Gesänge für eine tiefe Männerstimme

by Walter Klopsch

1. Sonnenuntergang  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wo bist du? [trunken]1 dämmert die Seele mir
  [Von all deiner]2 Wonne; denn eben ist's,
    Daß ich gelauscht, wie goldner Töne
      Voll der [entzückende]3 Sonnenjüngling

Sein Abendlied auf himmlischer Leier spielt';
  Es [tönten]4 rings die Wälder und Hügel nach.
    Doch fern ist er zu frommen Völkern,
      Die ihn noch ehren, hinweggegangen.

2. Der gute Glaube  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Schönes Leben! du liegst krank, und das Herz ist mir
  Müd vom Weinen und schon dämmert die Furcht in mir,
     Doch, doch kann ich nicht glauben, 
        Daß du sterbest, so lang du liebst.
