Der Wegweiser
Music: Franz Schubert (1797–1828) · Words: Wilhelm Müller (1794–1827)
Was vermeid' ich denn die Wege,
wo die andern Wandrer gehn,
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (4:20) 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
Was vermeid' ich denn die Wege,
wo die andern Wandrer gehn,
suche mir versteckte Stege durch verschneite
Felsenhöhn? suche mir versteckte Stege
durch verschneite Felsenhöhn,durch
Felsenhöhn?
Habe ja doch nichts begangen, dass ich
Menschen sollte scheun, dass ich Menschen
sollte scheun,
welch ein thörichtes Verlangen treibt mich
in die Wüsteneien, treibt mich in die
Wüstenei'n?
Weiser stehen auf den Wegen, weisen auf die
Städte zu,
und ich wandre sonder Massen, ohne Ruh,
und suche Ruh, und ich wandre sonder Massen,
ohne Ruh, und suche Ruh, und suche Ruh.
Einen Weiser seh' ich stehen unverrückt vor
meinem Blick;
eine Strasse muss ich gehen, eine Strasse
muss ich gehen, die noch keiner ging zurück.
Einen Weiser seh' ich stehen
unverrückt
meinem Blick;
eine Strasse muss ich gehen,
die noch keiner ging zurück,
die noch keiner ging zurück.
