Das Auge
 (Sung text for setting by R. Langgaard)
 Matches base text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Die Welt ist eine große Seele
Und jede Seele eine Welt;
Das Auge ist der lichte Spiegel,
Der beider Bild vereinigt hält.

Und wie sich dir im jedem Auge
Dein eignes Bild entgegenstellt,
So sieht auch jeder seine Seele,
Sein eignes Ich nur in der Welt.

Composition:

    Set to music by Rued Langgaard (1893 - 1952), "Das Auge", 1911 [ voice and piano ]
