Herz, mein Herz, so schweig auch du!
Music: Josephine Lang (1815–1880) · Words: Josephine Stieler née von Miller (1809–1890)
Auf den klaren Fluten malen sich der Sonne
letzte Strahlen,
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (7:40) 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
Auf den klaren Fluten malen sich der Sonne
letzte Strahlen,
über Wald und Wiesengrün,
über Berg und Wald und Fluren hin!
breitet schon
in sanfter Feier
Dämmrung ihre Nebeschleier;
durch zerstreute Wolken bricht,
sanfter Sterne Silberlicht,
durch zerstreute Wolkenbricht
sanfter Sterne sanftes Silberlicht!
Es verstummt der Ruderschlag.
Heimgegangen ist der Tag, heimgegangen ist
der Tag!
Alles, alles eilt zur Ruh, Herz,
mein Herz, so schweig auch du!
Herz, mein Herz,
so schweig auch du!
Wie die Flut hier still und eben floss dahin
mein junges Leben,
hell wie diese AbendSonne,
glänzte da mein Aug' von Won
ren
ne!
unddie Hoffnung
so schmeichelnd milde,
zeigte liebliche Gebilde;
führte mich mit lieber Hand,
in der Liebe Blumenland,
aus der Zukunft dunkler Ferne
strahlen still des Glückes Ster
ber
ne!
Doch sie sanken all hinab.
Glück und Hoffnung deckt ein Grab,
Glück und Hoffnung deckt ein Grab!
Doch im Grab wird allen Ruh, Allen Ruh,
wird Allen Ruh!
Herz, mein Herz,
so schweig auch du!
