Zwei Lieder

Song Cycle by Hendrik Andriessen (1892 - 1981)

1. Erwacht  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
  Wie selig [hat mich's]1 gemacht,
Daß unsere Wege sich trafen. 
Nun lieg' ich in der Nacht 
Und kann nicht schlafen.

  O, welche Liebe war 
In meinem Herzen verborgen 
Und wartete Jahr für Jahr 
Auf ihren Morgen. 

  Da kam ihr Tag und Licht,
Und sie erwachte. 
Du, dein süßes Gesicht --
Wie selig mich's machte!

Text Authorship:

  • by Gustav Falke (1853 - 1916), "Erwacht", appears in Mit dem Leben. Neue Gedichte, in Eine Liebe
