Vom Frieden der Liebe

Song Cycle by Philippine Schick (1893 - 1970)

1. Ohne Liebe
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wie über eines tiefen Brunnens Rand,
So fallen Tage mir und Nächte nun
Leer, ohne Lust noch Leid noch Lied noch Tun
Gleich welken Sommerrosen aus der Hand.

Ich achte nicht, wie mir die Zeit vergeht,
Ich sehe nur, wie meiner Liebe Stern
Weitab gewendet schattenhaft und fern
Am bleichen Himmel meines Lebens steht.

2. Hör es klagt die Flöte  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
[Hör]1 es klagt die Flöte wieder
Und die kühlen [Brunnen]2 rauschen,
Golden wehn die Töne nieder,
Stille, [stille]3, laß uns lauschen!

Holdes Bitten, mild Verlangen,
[Wie es süß zum Herzen spricht]4!
Durch die Nacht die mich umfangen,
Blickt zu mir der Töne Licht.

3. Bitte
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wenn du die liebe Hand mir gibst,
Die so viel Ungesagtes sagt,
Hab ich dich jemals dann gefragt,
Ob du mich liebst?

Ich will ja nicht, daß du mich liebst,
Will nur, daß ich dich nahe weiß
Und daß du manchmal stumm und leis
Die Hand mir gibst.
