In Nachbars Garten
 (Sung text for setting by R. Stephan)
 Matches base text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
In Nachbars Garten duftet die Lindenblüte schwül,
Doch unter den wuchtigen Zweigen ist's dämmerlauschig kühl.
In Nachbars Garten schatten die Lindenzweige tief
als ob in den Blättern verborgen ein süß Geheimnis schlief.
In Nachbars Garten rauscht es im Lindenwipfel bewegt
Als ob in Sturmes Takte ein Herz am andern schlägt.
Heut' sah ich unter der Linde verschlungen zwei Liebende stehn'.
Weshalb nur in brennendem Schmerze die Augen mir übergehn' ?

Composition:

    Set to music by Rudi Stephan (1887 - 1915), "In Nachbars Garten", 1914, published 1921, from Ich will dir singen ein Hohelied, no. 4
