1. Ich lehn' im offenem Gemache [sung text not yet checked]
by Eduard Bähring , "Ich lehn' im offenem Gemache", op. 18 (Zwei Gedichte für 1 Singstimme mit Pianoforte) no. 1, published 1894 [ voice and piano ], Leipzig, Kahnt Nachfolger
Language: German (Deutsch)
Ich lehn' im offenen Gemache, Es ist die Stunde still und spät -- Wie einsam geht der Tag vorüber, Der ohne dich vorüber geht! Es liegt mein Licht in deinen Augen, Doch deine Augen meiden mich, Es liegt mein Heil in deinen Händen, Doch nimmermehr gewinn' ich dich! Ich lehn' im offenen Gemache Und lausche, wie der Lenzwind weht -- Wie einsam geht der Lenz vorüber, Der ohne dich vorüber geht!

1. Lament
Language: English
I lean out from [my] open chamber, It is the hour soft and late. How desolately does the day pass That passes without you! My light lies in your eyes, But your eyes avoid me. My salvation lies in your hands, But I shall never win you. I lean out from [my] open chamber, And listen to the spring wind blow. How desolately does the spring pass That passes without you!

Nimmermehr in all den Tagen, [Nimmer in der langen]3 Zeit - - - Was du mir getan zu Liebe, Was du mir getan zu Leid'!

2. T'was spring in all the branches
Language: English
T'was [spring]1 in all the branches And the brown thrush sang, And I leaned upon your shoulder, Oh, how joyful and anxious I was! I sat at your feet, I kissed you with [multiple delights]2, And I can never forget What you meant to me! Nevermore in all the days, [Never in the long]3 time - - - What you did for love of me, What you did to cause me woe!
