Fünf Lieder für Gesang und Klavier

Song Cycle by Edmund Nick (1891 - 1974)

1. Frühling
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wieder schreitet er den braunen Pfad
Von den stürmeklaren Berge nieder,
Wieder quellen, wo der Schöne naht,
Liebe Blumen auf und Vogellieder.

Wieder auch verführt er meinen Sinn,
Daß in dieser zart erblühten Reine
Mir die Erde, deren Gast ich bin,
Eigentum und holde Heimat scheine.

2. Auf Wanderung
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Sei nicht traurig, bald ist es Nacht,
Da sehn wir über dem bleichen Land
Den kühlen Mond, wie er heimlich lacht
Und ruhen Hand in Hand.
 
Sei nicht traurig, bald kommt die Zeit,
Da haben wir Ruh. Unsre Kreuzlein stehen
Am hellen Straßenrande zu zweit,
Und es regnet und schneit,
Und die Winde kommen und gehen.

3. Frühlingstag
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wind im Gesträuch und Vogelpfiff
Und hoch im höchsten süßen Blau
Ein stilles, stolzes Wolkenschiff . . . 

Ich träume von einer blonden Frau,
Ich träume von meiner Jugendzeit,
Der hohe Himmel blau und weit
Ist meiner Sehnsucht Wiege,
Darin ich stillgesinnt
Und selig warm
Mit leisem Summen liege
So wie in seiner Mutter Arm
Ein Kind.

4. Oktober
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
In ihrem schönsten Kleide
Stehn alle Bäume gelb und rot,
Sie sterben einen leichten Tod,
Sie wissen nichts von Leide.

Herbst, kühle mir das heiße Herz,
Daß es gelinder schlage
Und still durch goldene Tage
Hinüberspiele winterwärts.

5. Einem im Felde gefallenen Freund
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Deine hellen Augen sind zugetan,
Dir brach die Nacht schon ein,
Dir brach der neue Weltengang schon an.
     Doch du bist mein,
     Ob auch die Sonne mir noch Mittag lacht,
     Und ich bin dein
     Und folge dir wenn meine Zeit vollbracht,
     In deine Nacht.
     Und aus dem Schoß,
     Der dich und mich verschlang
     Wächst neu und groß
     In ewigem Lebensdrang
     Der alten Heimat Geist empor.
     Die Jugend wandelt licht in weiten Räumen
     Und hört der Ahnen Chor
     Als dunklen Quell im heilgen Berge träumen.
