by Albert Felix, Graf Amadei (1851 - 1894)

1. Der schwere Abend  [sung text not yet checked]
by Albert Felix, Graf Amadei (1851 - 1894), "Der schwere Abend", op. 1 (Drei Gesänge für eine Alt- oder Baritonstimme mit Pianoforte) no. 1, published 1873 [ alto or baritone and piano ], Wien, Gotthard
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Die [dunklen]1 Wolken hingen
Herab so bang und schwer,
Wir beide traurig gingen
Im Garten hin und her.

So [heiß und]2 stumm, so trübe
[Und]3 sternlos war die Nacht,
So ganz, wie unsre Liebe,
Zu Tränen nur gemacht.

Und als ich mußte scheiden
Und gute Nacht [dir]4 bot,
Wünscht' ich bekümmert beiden
Im Herzen uns den Tod.

1. De drukkende avond
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
De donk're wolken hingen
Zo bang en zwaar terneer,
Wij beiden, treurig, gingen
De tuin door, heen en weer.
 
Zo heet en stil, zo somber
En lichtloos was de nacht,
Precies als onze liefde
Die niets dan tranen bracht.
 
En toen ik moest vertrekken
En jou 'Vaarwel' aanbood,
Wenst' ik in 't hart wanhopig
Ons beiden toe de dood.

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Über allen [Gipfeln]1

Warte nur, balde
Ruhest du auch.3

Confirmed with Goethe's Werke. Vollständige Ausgabe letzter Hand. Erster Band. Stuttgart und Tübingen, in der J.G.Cotta'schen Buchhandlung. 1827, page 109; and with Goethe's Werke. Erster Band. Stuttgart und Tübingen, in der J. G. Cotta'schen Buchhandlung. 1815, page 99.

Note: in many older editions, the spelling of the capitalized word "über" becomes "Ueber", but this is often due to the printing process and not to rules of orthography, since the lower-case version is not "ueber", so we use "Über".

See also J.D. Falk's poem Unter allen Wipfeln ist Ruh.

1 Flügel, Gaugler, Hasse, Radecke: "Wipfeln" (according to the incipits given in Hofmeister) ; further changes may exist not noted above.
2 Greith, Schubert: "Vöglein"
3 Lachner adds
Über allen Wipfeln
Ist Ruh',
Balde
Ruhest du auch.

by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832)
2. Boven alle bergen
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
 Boven alle bergen
 Is rust,
 In roerloze berken
 Merk je dus:
 Niets trekt voorbij.
 De vogeltjes zwijgen in het bos.
 Wacht nog, laat los
 Straks rust ook jij.

3. In meinem Garten die Nelken
 (Sung text)
by Albert Felix, Graf Amadei (1851 - 1894), "In meinem Garten die Nelken", op. 1 (Drei Gesänge für eine Alt- oder Baritonstimme mit Pianoforte) no. 3, published 1873 [ alto or baritone and piano ], Wien, Gotthard
Language: German (Deutsch) 
In meinem Garten die Nelken
mit ihrem Purpurstern
müssen nun alle verwelken,
   denn du bist fern.

Auf meinem Herde die Flammen
die ich bewacht so gern,
sanken in Asche zusammen,
   denn du bist fern.

Die Welt ist mir verdorben,
mich grüßt nicht Blume nicht Stern,
mein Herz ist lang' gestorben,
   denn du bist fern.

Note for stanza 1, line 4: in Stuckenschmidt's setting, "du, ach du" returns to the original "du" in the repetition.

by Emanuel von Geibel (1815 - 1884)
3.
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
Die anjers hier met hun kelken
En met hun purp'ren ster
Zullen nu alle verwelken,
Want jij bent ver.
 
En in mijn vuurhaard de vonken
- Zo dikwijls zat ik er -
Zijn nu tot as al verzonken,
Want jij bent ver.
 
Voor mij is 't ál bedorven,
Mij groet geen bloempje, geen ster,
Mijn hart is lang al gestorven,
Want jij bent ver1.
