An Luna
Music: Johanna Kinkel (1810–1858) · Words: Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749–1832)
Schwester von dem ersten Licht,
Bild der Zärtlichkeit in Trauer!
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (3:38) 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
Schwester von dem ersten Licht,
Bild der Zärtlichkeit in Trauer!
Nebel schwimmt mit Silberschauer um dein
reizenGesicht.
Deines leisen Fusses Lauf weckt aus
tagverschlossnen Höhlen traurig
abgeschiedne Seelen, mich, und nächt’ge
Vögel auf.
Forschend übersicht dein Blick
eine grossgemessne Weite. Hebe mich an
deine Seite! Gieb der Schwärmedies Glück.
Und in wollustvoller Ruh’ säh’ der
weitverschlag’ne Ritter durch das gläserne
Gegitter, seines Mädchens Nächten zu.
Des Beschauens holdes Glück
mildert solcher Ferne Qualen,
und ich sammle deine Strahlen,
und ich schärfe
nen Blick;
Hell und heller wird es schon um die
unverhüllten Glieder und nun zieht sie mich
hernieder, wie dich einst Endymion.
