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!

Vernahmet ihr

Language: German (Deutsch) after the German (Deutsch) 

Vernahmet ihr am Hain den mächt'gen Sang
des Sängers der von Liebe klagt und Leiden,
wenn früh noch alles ruht auf Feld und Weiden
Schalmeienton nur tönt in trübem Klang? 
vernahmet ihr, vernahmet ihr? 

Sah't ihr ihn wohl, den Sänger in der Nacht,
wenn er von seinem Lieben singt und Leiden?
und Thränenspuren trüb sein Antlitz kleiden,
wie er so gramvoll seufzt, so traurig lacht?
sah't ihr ihn wohl, sah't ihr ihn wohl?

Ward euch nicht weh, wenn ihr ihm so genah't,
dem Sänger der von Liebe singt und leiden,
wenn einsam noch die Wälder und die Haiden,
sein schmerzgetrübtes Auge ihr sah't,
ward euch nicht weh, ward euch nicht weh?
