Zwei Abendlieder

Song Cycle by Jan Pieter Hendrik van Gilse (1881 - 1944)

1. Requiem
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Bei der Abendsonne Wandern,
Wann ein Dorf den Strahl verlor,
Klagt sein Dunkeln es den andern
Mit vertrauten Tönen vor.

 ... 

Noch ein Glöcklein hat geschwiegen
Auf der Höhe bis zuletzt.
Nun beginnt es sich zu wiegen,
Horch, mein Kilchberg läutet jetzt!

2. Abend
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
In's Fenster hängt der Abend nun
tiefblauer Dämmerschleier
Lasse deine fleiss'gen Hände ruhn,
in stiller Liebesfeier.

Und lass an deinem Herzen sacht
Mich träumen von den Stunden
Der Wundersel'gen Blütennacht
Da wir das Glück gefunden.

Text Authorship:

  • by Emil Schulze-Malkowsky (1880 - 1967)
