Durch Carthago’s Trümmerhallen
Music: Johanna Kinkel (1810–1858) · Words: (Johann) Gottfried Kinkel (1815–1882)
Durch Carthago's Trümmerhallen suchend bin
ich umgeschweift,
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (8:19) 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
Durch Carthago's Trümmerhallen suchend bin
ich umgeschweift,
wo in heissem Mittag wallen voll
die gold'ne Erndte reift.
Und ich sah wie bunt zum Kranze
Meer und Erde sich verflicht
unter klarem Himmelsglanze aber ach,
ihn fand ich nicht,
aber ach,
ihn fand ich
nicht!
Durch Egÿptens reiche Fluren zog ich an
dem Pilgerstab;
alter Grösse heil'ge Spuren trägt
manch prächtig Königsgrab.
Auf den Pÿramiden leuchtet
unbewölkt der Sonne Licht,
weit der Strom das Land befeuchtet aber ach,
ihn fand ich nicht,
aber ach,
ihn fand ich
nicht!
Canaan!
zu süs ser Labe deinen Grund
betrat
ich nun,
wo an des Erlösers Grabe alle Erdensorgen
ruhn.
Gläubig bin ich hingesunken
auf mein flammend Angesicht,
Himmelslust hab' ich getrunken aber ach,
ihn fand ich nicht,
aber ach,
ihn fand ich
nicht!
