Er, der Herrlichste von allen
Music: Robert Schumann (1810–1856) · Words: Adelbert von Chamisso (1781–1838)
Er, der Herrlichste von Allen,
wie so milde, wie so gut! Holde Lippen,
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (2:29) and stops after the last: the piano and the words come from the score, so a key change or a slower tempo changes no sound file.
The microphone is asked for only when you press its button. What it hears is measured and scored on this device and never leaves it; nothing is kept unless you record and save the file yourself. What is kept, and where.
The words
Er, der Herrlichste von Allen,
wie so milde, wie so gut! Holde Lippen,
klares Auge, heller Sinn und fester Muth.
So wie dort in blauer Tiefe, hell und
herrlich, jener Stern, also Er an meinem
Himmel, hell und herrlich, hehr und fern.
Wandle, wandle deine Bahnen; nur betrachten
deinen Schein, nur in Demuth ihn betrachten,
selig nur und traurig sein. Höre nicht mein
stilles Beten, deinem Glücke nur geweiht;
darfst mich nied're Magd nicht kennen,
hoher Stern der Herrlichkeit, hoher Stern
der Herrlichkeit! Nur die Würdigste von
Allen darf beglücken deine Wahl,
und ich will die Hohe segnen viele tausend
Mal.
Will mich freuen dann und weinen,
selig, selig bin ich dann; sollte mir das
Herz auch brechen, brich, o Herz,
was liegt daran?
Er, der Herrlichste von Allen,
wie so milde, wie so gut! Holde Lippen,
klares Auge, heller Sinn und fester Muth,
wie so milde, wie so gut!
