You can help us modernize! The present website has been online for a very long time and we want to bring it up to date. As of May 6, we are $2,380 away from our goal of $15,000 to fund the project. The fully redesigned site will be better for mobile, easier to read and navigate, and ready for the next decade. Please give today to join dozens of other supporters in making this important overhaul possible!

Tanzlied des Pierrots

Language: German (Deutsch) 

Mein Sehnen, mein Wähnen, es träumt sich zurück.
Im Tanze gewann ich, verlor ich mein Glück.
Im Tanze am Rhein, bei Mondenschein,
gestand mir's aus Blauaug ein inniger Blick,
gestand mir's ihr bittend Wort:
o bleib, o geh mit nicht fort,
bewahre der Heimat still blühendes Glück,
mein Sehnen, mein Wähnen, es träumt sich zurück.
Zauber der Ferne warf in die Seele den Brand,
Zauber des Tanzes lockte, ward Komödiant.
Folgt ihr, der Wundersüssen,
lernt unter Tränen küssen.
Rausch und Not, Wahn und Glück,
ach, das ist des Gauklers Geschick.
Mein Sehnen, mein Wähnen, es träumt sich zurück...
