Das Blümchen Wunderhold
Music: Ludwig van Beethoven (1770–1827) · Words: Gottfried August Bürger (1747–1794)
Es blüht ein Blümchen irgendwo in einem
stillen Tal, das schmeichelt Aug und Herz so
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (2:03) 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
Es blüht ein Blümchen irgendwo in einem
stillen Tal, das schmeichelt Aug und Herz so
froh wie Abendsonnenstrahl. Das ist viel
köstlicher als Gold, als Perl und Diamant.
Drum wird es Blümchen Wunderhold mit gutem
Fug genannt.
Wohl sänge ich ei langes Lied von meines
Blümchens Kraft, wie es am Leib und am Gemüt
so hohe Wunder schafft. Was kein
GeheimnisElixier dir sonst gewähren kann,
das leistet, traun! mein Blümchen dir,
man säh es ihm nicht an.
Wer Wunderhold im Busen hegt, wird wie ein
Engel schön. Das hab ich, inniglig bewegt,
an Mann und Weib gesehn. An Mann und Weib,
alt oder jung, zieht's, wie ein Talisman,
des schönsten Seelen Huldigung
unwiderstehlich an.
Ach hättest du nur die gekannt,
die einst mein Kleinod war der Tod entriss sie
meiner Hand hart hinterm Traualtar!
Dann würdest du es ganz verstehn,
was Wunderhold vermag, und in das Licht der
Warheit sehn wie in den hellen Tag.
