Das ist nicht Zeit, die in mein Ohr dringt.
Da ist ein Glänzender, der machtvoll singt.
Über meine Augen Wolken ziehn,
o Luft und weite Wolken!
Das nimmt mich ganz in die Heimat hin.
Einen Adler hör' ich rauschend folgen;
und Höhn und Tiefen sind voll Melodien.

It is not Time that penetrates my ear

(Sung text translation for setting by A. Knab)

See original

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

It is not Time that penetrates my ear.

Clouds move across my eyes,
oh breeze and broad clouds!
That takes me utterly into my homeland.
I hear an eagle following with a rushing of wings;
and heights and depths are full of melodies.
