Zehn Lieder

Song Cycle by Aladár Weigerth

2. Nachtwind  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Manchmal geschieht es in tiefer Nacht,
daß der Wind wie ein Kind erwacht,
und er kommt die Allee allein
leise, leise ins Dorf herein.

Und er tastet bis an den Teich,
und dann horcht er herum:
und die Häuser sind bleich,
und die Eichen sind stumm . . .
