Lied zum Geburtstage meines guten Vaters
 (Sung text for setting by F. Mendelssohn)
 See base text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ihr Töne schwingt euch fröhlich durch die Saiten,
Erklinget heller heut'.
Ihr sollt ein frohes Jubellied bedeuten,
Das fromme Kindesliebe beut.

Dort draussen deckt ein eisig trüber Schleier
Der Felder bunte, bunte Pracht.
Doch uns erblüht die Freudenfeier
Recht in des Winters dunkler Nacht.

 ... 

Ihr Töne aber, schwingt euch durch die Saiten,
Erklinget lauter heut',
Ihr möget ihm ein Jubellied bedeuten,
Das seiner Kinder Liebe beut.

Composition:

    Set to music by Felix Mendelssohn (1809 - 1847), "Lied zum Geburtstage meines guten Vaters", 1819, stanzas 1-2,5 [ voice and piano ]
