Naturlieder

Song Cycle by Armin Knab (1881 - 1951)

12. Ich lieb' eine Blume, doch weiß ich nicht welche  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich lieb' eine Blume, doch weiß ich nicht welche;
Das macht mir Schmerz.
Ich schau' in alle Blumenkelche
Und such' ein Herz.

Es duften die Blumen im Abendscheine,
Die Nachtigall schlägt.
Ich such' ein Herz, so schön wie das meine,
So schön bewegt.

Die Nachtigall schlägt, und ich verstehe
Den süßen Gesang:
Uns beiden ist so bang' und wehe,
So weh und bang.
