Helft mir, ihr Schwestern
Music: Robert Schumann (1810–1856) · Words: Adelbert von Chamisso (1781–1838)
Helft mir, ihr Schwestern, freundlich mich
schmücken, dient der Glücklichen heute,
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (1:31) 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
Helft mir, ihr Schwestern, freundlich mich
schmücken, dient der Glücklichen heute,
mir, windet geschäftig mir um die Stirne
noch der blühenden Myrte Zier.
Als ich befriedigt, freudigen Herzens,
sonst dem Geliebten im Arme lag,
immer noch rief er, Sehnsucht im Herzen,
ungeduldig den heutigen Tag.
Helft mir, ihr Schwestern, helft mir
verscheuchen eine thörigte Bangigkeit;
dass ich mit klarem Aug' ihn empfange,
ihn, die Quelle der Freudigkeit.
Bist, mein Geliebter, du mir erschienen,
gibst du mir, Sonne, deinen Schein?
lass mich in Andacht, lass mich in Demut,
lass mich verneigen dem Herren mein.
Streuet ihm, Schwestern, streuet ihm Blumen,
bringet ihm knospende Rosen dar.
Aber euch, Schwestern, grüss' ich mit Wehmut,
freudig scheidend aus eurer Schar,
freudig scheidend aus eurer Schar.
