Schwanengesang
 (Sung text for setting by B. Randhartinger)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wenn ohne lautes Pochen,
Wenn ohne stille Glut
Mein armes Herz gebrochen
Im engen Sarge ruht,

Wenn kalt und ohn' Erwarmen
Es unbeweglich liegt,
In seinen Feuerarmen
Nicht mehr dein Bildniß wiegt  -- 

Wirst du ein Röslein brechen
Wie man's Geliebten gibt  -- 
Wirst du still weinend sprechen: 
Dies Herz hat mich geliebt? 

Gewiß! Du sinkest nieder
Am Kreuze zum Gebet  --  
Du denkest meiner Lieder  --
Und weinst:  Zu spät  --  zu spät!

    Set to music by Benedikt Randhartinger (1802 - 1893), "Schwanengesang" [ voice and piano ]
