1. Durch Einsamkeiten
by Clemens von Franckenstein (1875 - 1942), "Durch Einsamkeiten", op. 38 (Zwei Gedichte) no. 1 [ voice and piano ], Carl Hermann Fatho/ Verlag, Berlin w15
Language: German (Deutsch)
Durch Einsamkeiten, Durch waldwild Geheg, Über nebelnde Weiten Wandert mein Weg. Fern über dem Berge An ruhsamer Flut Harrt meiner ein Ferge, Der rudert mich gut. An ein stilles Geländ', Ewig gemieden Und ewig ersehnt: Zum Frieden...
by Anton Wildgans (1881 - 1932)
1. Through solitudes
Language: English
Through solitudes,
Through enclosures of wild forests,
Over fog-shrouded expanses
My path takes me.
Far over the mountain
At peaceful waters
A ferryman awaits me,
He shall row me well.
To a silent country,
Eternally avoided
And eternally desired -- --
To peace . . .

2. Adagio
by Clemens von Franckenstein (1875 - 1942), "Adagio", op. 38 (Zwei Gedichte) no. 2 [ voice and piano ], Carl Hermann Fatho/ Verlag, Berlin w15
Language: German (Deutsch)
Alles Tagverlangen Ist zur Ruh gegangen Rosenrot im Rohr -- Aus den Birkenzweigen, Wo er still gehangen, Bleich und netzgefangen, Hebt in sanftem Steigen Sich der Mond empor. Leise, weiße Seiden Kleiden jetzt die Weiden, Schläfernd schlürft der Bach. Schober auf den Wiesen Hocken wie die Riesen, Und die dunklen Hunde, Ruhlos in der Runde, Wandern wach.

2. Adagio
Language: English
All the yearnings of the day Have gone to rest, Rosily red in the reeds -- From among the birch branches Where it hung quietly, Pale and ensnared, Gently ascending The moon rises into the heavens. Quiet white silks Now clothe the willows, Sleepily sips the stream -- Hay-ricks on the meadows Crouch like giants. And the dark dogs Restlessly on their rounds Wander alertly.
