Eichendorff-Lieder

Song Cycle by Armin Knab (1881 - 1951)

?. Nacht  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Die Vöglein, die so fröhlich sangen,
Der Blumen bunte Pracht,
's ist alles unter nun gegangen,
Nur das Verlangen
Der Liebe wacht.

When first published in 1828, the poem "Nacht" was one stanza long (usually referred to as Nacht Teil 1); in 1837, Eichendorff added Teil 2, which encompassed stanza 2; in 1839, Eichendorff added Teil 3, which encompassed stanzas 3 and 4; and in 1841 he added Teil 4, encompassing stanzas 5 and 6, and thus giving the poem its final form.

?. Morgendämmerung  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Gedenk ich noch der Frühlingsnächte
Vor manchem, manchem Jahr,
Wie wir zusammen im Garten standen
Und unten über den Landen
Alles so still noch war.

Wie wir standen in Gedanken,
Bis eine Morgenglocke erwacht' -
Das alles ist lange vergangen;
Aber die Glocken, die da klangen,
Hör ich noch oft bei Nacht.

?. Was ist mir denn so wehe?  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Was ist mir denn so wehe?
  Es liegt ja wie im Traum
Der Grund schon, wo ich stehe,
  Die Wälder säuseln kaum
Noch von der dunklen Höhe.
  Es komme wie es will,
Was ist mir denn so wehe -
  Wie bald wird alles still.
