Geistliches Wiegenlied
Music: Johannes Brahms (1833–1897) · Words: Emanuel Geibel (1815–1884) · lyricist: Lope Felix de Vega Carpio (1562–1635)
Die ihr schwebet um diese Palmen
in Nacht und Wind,
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (5:24) 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
Die ihr schwebet um diese Palmen
in Nacht und Wind,
ihr heil’gen Engel, stillet die Wipfel!
Es schlummert mein Kind, es schlummert
meinKind.
Ihr Palmen von Bethlehem im Windesbrausen,
wie mögt ihr heute
so zornig sausen!
O rauscht nicht also,
schweiget, neiget euch leis’ und lind,
stillet die Wipfel, stillet die Wipfel!
Es schlummert mein Kind, es schlummert mein
Kind.
Der Himmelsknabe duldet Beschwerde;
ach, wie so müd’ er ward vom Leid der Erde,
ach, wie so müd’, wie so müd’ er ward vom Leid,
vom Leid der Erde.
Ach, nun im Schlaf ihm, leise gesänftigt,
die Qual zerrinnt,
stillet die Wipfel, stillet die Wipfel,
es schlummert mein Kind, es schlummert mein
Kind.
Grimmige Kälte sauset hernieder,
womit nur deck’ ich
des Kindleins Glieder!
O all’ ihr Engel,
die ihr geflügelt wandelt im Wind,
stillet die Wipfel, stillet die Wipfel,
es schlummert mein Kind, es schlummert mein
Kind.
+) (Josef, lieber Josef mein, hilf mir wieg’n
mein Kindlein sein, Gott der wird dein Lohner
sein, im Himmelreich der Jungfrau Sohn,
Maria, Maria.)
