by Friedrich von Hardenberg (1772 - 1801), as Novalis

Was paßt, das muß sich ründen
 (Sung text for setting by G. Reichardt)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Was paßt, das muß sich ründen,
Was sich versteht, sich finden,
Was gut ist, sich verbinden,
Was liebt, zusammen sein.
Was hindert, muß entweichen,
Was krumm ist, muß sich gleichen,
Was fern ist, sich erreichen,
Was keimt, das muß gedeihn.

Gib treulich mir die Hände,
Sei Bruder mir und wende
Den Blick vor deinem Ende
Nicht wieder weg von mir.
Ein Tempel, wo wir knieen,
Ein Ort, wohin wir ziehen,
Ein Glück, für das wir glühen,
Ein Himmel mir und dir!

Composition:

    Set to music by Gustav Reichardt (1797 - 1884), "Was paßt, das muß sich ründen"

Text Authorship:

  • by Friedrich von Hardenberg (1772 - 1801), as Novalis, "An Schleiermacher", subtitle: "An Adolph Selmnitz"
