Drei Lieder

Song Cycle by Norman Houston O'Neill (1875 - 1934)

1. Mit den Sternen  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Mit den Sternen kehrt die Liebe,
  Kehrt die Sehnsucht neu zurück:
Walte denn mit sel'gem Triebe,
  Hohen Dranges Geisterglück!

Mir im Herzen selig walte,
  Zauberbann der dunklen Nacht,
Und geheimnißvoll entfalte
  Deines Zwanges holde Macht!

Bringst du, Nacht, dem Himmel Sterne,
  Perlenthau der Rose jung.
Gibst du Schwingen in die Ferne
  Mir zu hoher Liebe Schwung.

Schwand auch in des Tags Getriebe
  Mir der Seele schmerzlich Glück,
Mit den Sternen kehrt die Liebe,
  Kehrt die Sehnsucht neu zurück. 

Text Authorship:

  • by Robert Hamerling (1830 - 1889), "Mit den Sternen", appears in Sinnen und Minnen: Ein Jugendleben in Liedern, in Lieder, first published 1870

2. The little boy lost  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: English 
``Father! father! where are you going? 
O do not walk so fast. 
Speak, father, speak to your little boy, 
Or else I shall be lost.'' 

The night was dark, no father was there; 
The child was wet with dew; 
The mire was deep, & the child did weep, 
And away the vapour flew.

Text Authorship:

  • by William Blake (1757 - 1827), "The little boy lost", appears in Songs of Innocence and Experience, in Songs of Innocence, no. 8, first published 1789
