Song Cycle by Henk Bijvanck (1909 - 1969)

1. Am Waldessaume  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: English 
Am Waldessaume träumt die Föhre,
Am Himmel weiße Wölkchen nur,
Es ist so still, daß ich sie höre,
Die tiefe Stille der Natur.

Rings Sonnenschein auf Wies' und Wegen,
Die Wipfel stumm, kein Lüftchen wach,
Und doch es klingt als ström' ein Regen
Leis tönend auf das Blätterdach.

2. Waldeinsamkeit  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Waldeinsamkeit!
Du [grünes]1 Revier,
Wie liegt so weit
Die Welt von hier!
Schlaf nur, wie bald
Kommt der Abend schön,
Durch den stillen Wald
Die Quellen gehn,
Die Mutter Gottes wacht,
Mit ihrem Sternenkleid
Bedeckt sie dich sacht
In der Waldeinsamkeit,
[Gute Nacht,]2 Gute Nacht! -
