Return to the original list

1. Hörst du nicht die Bäume rauschen  [sung text not yet checked]
by Gustav Eggers (1835 - 1861), "Hörst du nicht die Bäume rauschen", op. 8 (Zwei Gesänge) no. 1, published 1860 [ voice and piano ]
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Hörst du nicht die Bäume rauschen
Draußen durch die stille Rund?
Lockts dich nicht, hinabzulauschen
Von dem Söller in den Grund,
Wo die vielen Bäche gehen
Wunderbar im Mondenschein
Wo die stillen Schlösser sehen
In den Fluß vom hohen Stein?

Kennst du noch die irren Lieder
Aus der alten, schönen Zeit?
Sie erwachen alle wieder
Nachts in Waldeseinsamkeit,
Wenn die Bäume träumend lauschen
Und der Flieder duftet schwül
Und im Fluß die Nixen rauschen -
Komm herab, hier ist's so kühl.

1. N'entends-tu pas le murmure des arbres?
Language: French (Français) 
N'entends-tu pas le murmure des arbres
Dehors dans la paisible ronde (divine) ?
N'es-tu pas tenté d'écouter depuis le balcon
Cette musique qui vient des terres d'en-bas,
Où s'en vont les nombreux ruisseaux
Merveilleux au clair de lune,
Où les paisibles châteaux regardent
dans la rivière depuis leur haut rocher ?
 
Connais-tu encore les airs insensés
Du bon vieux temps passé ?
Ils se réveillent tous de nouveau
La nuit dans la solitude de la forêt,
Lorsque les arbres rêveurs prêtent l'oreille
Que le lilas répand son lourd parfun,
Et que dans la rivière les ondines murmurent :
Viens, descends, ici il fait si doux.

2. Wandrers Nachtlied  [sung text not yet checked]
by Gustav Eggers (1835 - 1861), "Wandrers Nachtlied", op. 8 (Zwei Gesänge) no. 2, published 1860 [ voice and piano ]
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Über allen [Gipfeln]1
Ist Ruh',
In allen Wipfeln
Spürest du
Kaum einen Hauch;
Die [Vögelein]2 schweigen im Walde.
Warte nur, balde
Ruhest du auch.3

Confirmed with Goethe's Werke. Vollständige Ausgabe letzter Hand. Erster Band. Stuttgart und Tübingen, in der J.G.Cotta'schen Buchhandlung. 1827, page 109; and with Goethe's Werke. Erster Band. Stuttgart und Tübingen, in der J. G. Cotta'schen Buchhandlung. 1815, page 99.

Note: in many older editions, the spelling of the capitalized word "über" becomes "Ueber", but this is often due to the printing process and not to rules of orthography, since the lower-case version is not "ueber", so we use "Über".

See also J.D. Falk's poem Unter allen Wipfeln ist Ruh.

1 Flügel, Gaugler, Hasse, Radecke: "Wipfeln" (according to the incipits given in Hofmeister) ; further changes may exist not noted above.
2 Greith, Schubert: "Vöglein"
3 Lachner adds
Über allen Wipfeln
Ist Ruh',
Balde
Ruhest du auch.

by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832)
2. Le chant de nuit du voyageur II
Language: French (Français) 
Par-dessus les sommets
Il y a la paix
Au-dessus des cimes
Tu sens
À peine un souffle ;
Les petits oiseaux font silence en forêt,
Attends un peu, bientôt
Toi aussi tu te reposeras
