Die Insel der Vergessenheit
Music: Clara Mathilda Faisst (1872–1948) · Words: Anna Ritter
Liegt irgendwo im weiten Meer ein selig,
weltverloren Land,
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (3:15) 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
Liegt irgendwo im weiten Meer ein selig,
weltverloren Land,
still ziehn die Wolken drüber her
und leise ebbet die Flut am Strand.
Uralte Bäume grünen dort
und wölben sich zum dichten Hain,
in den drang nie ein Menschenwort,
nie eines Menschen Blick hinein!
Aus purpurroten Kelchen
steigt ein seltsam süsser, müder Hauch,
versonnen sich der Himmel neigt und reglos
träumen Busch und Strauch.
Am Ufer schaukelt sich ein Kahn,
die Wellen plätschern sacht am Kiel...
Wen holt er ab auf weiter Bahn?
Wen trägt er her zum sel’gen Ziel?
Ach, dass der Kahn mich holen müsst’ aus dieser
bangen, bangen Zeit, dass ich den Weg zu
finden wüsst’
zur Insel der Vergessenheit!
der Vergessenheit!
