Herbstgefühl
Music: Johannes Brahms (1833–1897) · Words: Adolf Friedrich, Graf von Schack (1815–1894)
Wie wenn im frostgen Windhauch tödlich
des Sommers letzte Blüte krankt,
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (3:16) 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
Wie wenn im frostgen Windhauch tödlich
des Sommers letzte Blüte krankt,
und hier und da nur, gelb
und rötlich,
ein einzles Blatt,
ein einzles Blatt im Wind -- hauch
schwankt,
so schauert über mein Leben
ein nächtig trüber, kalter Tag,
warum noch vor dem Tode beben,
o Herz,
o Herz mit deinem ewgen Schlag!
Sieh rings entblättert das Gestäude!
Was spielst du, wie der Wind am Strauch,
noch mit der letzten welken Freude?
Gib dich zur Ruh,
bald stirbt, bald stirbt sie auch.
