Drei Lieder mit Gitarrenbegleitung

Song Cycle by Heinz Bischoff

1. Nachtgang
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Es nachtet schon, die Straße ruht,
Seitab treibt mit verschlafenen Schlägen
Der Strom mit seiner trägen Flut
Der stummen Finsternis entgegen.
 
Er rauscht in seinem tiefen Bett
So wegverdrossen, rauh und schwer,
Als ob er Lust zu ruhen hätt,
Und ich bin wohl so müd wie er.
 
Das ist durch Nacht und fremdes Land
Ein traurig Miteinanderziehn,
Ein Wandern stumm und unverwandt
Zu zwein, und keiner weiß wohin.

2. Der Wind ruht in den Ästen
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Der Wind ruht in den Ästen,
Und schaukelt sich müde nur,
Es klingt wie von fernen Festen
Eines Liedes schwindende Spur.

Mein Glück ist schlafen gangen,
Und lacht nur halb im Traum
Mit schönen, schmalen Wangen
Und schönen Lippen kaum.

Meine Liebe legt sich nieder
In meines Liedes Schoß
Und dehnt ihre feinen Glieder
Und machet die Augen groß.

Der Verse leichte Zügel
Fallen mir aus der Hand,
Mein Lied lenkt seine Flügel
In ein grünes Schlummerland.

3. Der stille Hof
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ein Hof liegt in der stillen Nacht,
Ein Bauernhof, drin keiner wacht
Und keiner wache Nächte kennt.

Ein Heimatzauber kommt von dir
Und weht in die Gedanken mir
Den Frieden, den kein Name nennt.
