Sechs Lieder

Song Cycle by J. Zöhrer

1. Wenn ich in deine Augen seh'  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wenn ich in deine Augen [seh']1,
So schwindet [all' mein Leid]2 und Weh; 
Doch wenn ich küße deinen Mund,
So werd' ich ganz und gar gesund.

Wenn ich mich lehn' an deine Brust,
Kommt's über mich wie Himmelslust;
Doch wenn du sprichst: ich liebe dich!
[So]3 muß ich weinen bitterlich.

2. An Sie  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
  Mädchen mit dem roten Mündchen,
Mit den Äuglein süß und klar,
Du mein liebes, [kleines]1 Mädchen,
Deiner denk' ich immerdar.

 Lang ist heut der Winterabend,
Und ich möchte bei dir sein,
[Bei dir sitzen, mit dir schwatzen]2,
Im vertrauten Kämmerlein.

  An die Lippen [wollt']3 ich pressen
Deine [kleine]4 weiße Hand,
Und mit Thränen sie benetzen,
Deine [kleine, weiße]5 Hand.

6. In meiner Brust da sitzt ein Weh  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
"In meiner Brust, da sitzt ein Weh,
Das will die Brust zersprengen;
Und wo ich steh' und wo ich geh',
Will's mich von hinnen drängen.

"Es treibt mich nach der Liebsten Näh',
Als könnt die Grete heilen;
Doch wenn ich der ins Auge seh',
Muß ich von hinnen eilen.

"Ich steig' hinauf des Berges Höh',
Dort ist man doch alleine;
Und wenn ich still dort oben steh',
Dann steh' ich still und weine."
