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!

Es tönt ein voller Harfenklang

Language: German (Deutsch) 

Es [tönt]1 ein voller Harfenklang
Den Lieb' und Sehnsucht schwellen,
Er dringt zum Herzen tief und bang
Und läßt das Auge quellen. 

O rinnet, Tränen, nur herab,
O schlage Herz, mit Beben!
Es sanken Lieb' und Glück ins Grab,
Verloren ist [mein]2 Leben!

Er klinkt een volle harpenklank

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

Er klinkt een volle harpenklank,
Die hunkering doet zwellen,
Hij dringt het hart in, diep en bang,
En doet de tranen wellen.
 
O stroom maar, tranen, laat niet af,
O sla maar hart, blijf beven!
Geluk en liefde, 't ligt in 't graf,
Verloren is mijn1 leven!
