Three Duets on Texts by Heinrich Heine

by Fanny Hensel (1805 - 1847)

?. Duett [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch)

Wenn ich in deine Augen [seh']¹,
So schwindet [all' mein Leid]² und Weh; 
Doch wenn ich küße deinen Mund,
So werd' ich ganz und gar gesund.

Wenn ich mich lehn' an deine Brust,
Kommt's über mich wie Himmelslust;
Doch wenn du sprichst: ich liebe dich!
[So]³ muß ich weinen bitterlich.

2. Wasserfahrt [sung text checked 1 time]

Language: German (Deutsch)

Ich stand gelehnet an den Mast,
Und zählte jede Welle.
[Ade!]¹ mein schönes Vaterland!
Mein Schiff, das segelt schnelle!

Ich [kam schön]² Liebchens Haus vorbei,
Die Fensterscheiben blinken;
Ich [guck']³ mir fast die Augen aus,
Doch [will mir niemand]⁴ winken.

Ihr Tränen, bleibt mir aus dem Aug',
Daß ich nicht dunkel sehe.
[Mein krankes]⁵ Herze brich mir nicht
Vor [allzugroßem]⁶ Wehe.
