Pastell-Bilder

Song Cycle by Bo Holten (b. 1948)

7.   [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Der bleiche Heinrich ging vorbei,
Schön Hedwig lag am Fenster.
Sie sprach halblaut: »Gott steh mir bei,
Der unten schaut bleich wie Gespenster!«

Der unten erhebt sein Aug in die Höh,
Hinschmachtend nach Hedewigs Fenster.
Schön Hedwig ergriff es wie Liebesweh,
Auch sie ward bleich wie Gespenster.

Schön Hedwig stand nun mit Liebesharm
Tagtäglich lauernd am Fenster.
Bald aber lag sie in Heinrichs Arm,
Allnächtlich zur Zeit der Gespenster.

10. Vergiftet sind meine Lieder  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Vergiftet sind meine Lieder; -
Wie könnt es anders sein?
Du hast mir ja Gift gegossen
Ins blühende Leben hinein.

Vergiftet sind meine Lieder; -
Wie könnt es anders sein?
Ich trag' im Herzen viel Schlangen,
Und dich, Geliebte mein.
