Fünf Lieder

Song Cycle by Georg Riemenschneider (1848 - 1913)

2. Gute Nacht  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Die Erde schloß die Augen zu,
Die Sterne halten Wacht,
Und alle Thäler stehn voll Ruh' --
Mein Liebchen, gute Nacht! 

Die Wasser rauschen fort von hier,
Die Lüste ziehn mit Macht;
Sie bringen meine Grüße dir:
Mein Liebchen, gute Nacht! 

Schlaf' süß und wohl, mein fernes Kind! 
Auf deinem Kissen wacht, 
Auf deine Augen sinket lind 
Des Liebsten gute Nacht.

Text Authorship:

  • by (Karl) Ludwig Pfau (1821 - 1894), "Gute Nacht"
