Die Liebende schreibt, MWV K 66
Music: Felix Mendelssohn (1809–1847) · Words: Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749–1832)
Ein Blick von deinen Augen in die meinen,
ein Kuss von deinem Mund auf meinem Munde,
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (2:38) 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
Ein Blick von deinen Augen in die meinen,
ein Kuss von deinem Mund auf meinem Munde,
wer davon hat, wie ich, gewisse Kunde,
mag dem was anders wohl erfreulich scheinen?
Entfernt von dir, entfremdet von den Meinen,
führ’ ich nur die Gedanken in die Runde,
und immer treffen sie auf jene Stunde,
die einzige; da fang’ ich an zu weinen.
Die Träne trocknet wieder unversehens:
er liebt ja, denk’ ich, her in diese Stille,
und solltest du nicht in die Ferne reichen?
Vernimm das Lispeln dieses Liebeswehens;
mein einzig Glück auf Erden ist dein Wille,
dein freundlicher zu mir;
gieb mir ein Zeichen,
gieb mir ein Zeichen, gieb mir
ein Zeichen!
