Lieder

Song Cycle by Franz Mittler (1893 - 1970)

4. Casabianca  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Am Berge weiß ich trutzen 
ein Kirchlein mit rostigem Knauf,
wie Mönche in grauen Kapuzen 
steigen Zypressen hinauf.

Vergessene Heilige wohnen
dort einsam im Altar schrein.
Der Abend reicht ihnen Kronen
durch hohle Fenster hinein.

5. Liebe  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Und wie mag die Liebe dir kommen sein?
Kam sie wie ein Sonnen, ein Blütenschein,

Ein Glück löste leuchtend [aus Himmeln]1 sich los
Und hing mit gefalteten Schwingen groß
An meiner blühenden Seele.

6. Die Mühle
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Du müde, morsche Mühle,
dein Moosrad feiert Ruh, –
aus der Olivenkühle
schaut dir der Abend zu.

Der Bach singt wie verloren
Menschenlieder nach.
tiefer über die Ohren
ziehst du dein trutziges Dach.

Text Authorship:

  • by Rainer Maria Rilke (1875 - 1926), "I mulini", appears in Advent, in Fahrten, no. 6
