| Comments: | An die Musik - To music Du holde Kunst, in wieviel grauen Stunden, Oh sacred art, how oft in hours blighted, Wo mich des Lebens wilder Kreis umstrickt, While into life's untamed cycle hurled, H ast du mein Herz zu warmer Lieb entzunden, Hast thou my heart to warm love reignited Hast mich in eine beßre Welt entrückt! To transport me into a better world! Oft hat ein Seufzer, deiner Harf' entflossen, So often has a sigh from thy harp drifted, Ein süßer, heiliger Akkord von dir A chord from thee, holy and full of bliss, Den Himmel beßrer Zeiten mir erschlossen, A glimpse of better times from heaven lifted. Du holde Kunst, ich danke dir dafür! Thou sacred art, my thanks to thee for this. Translation copyright © 1995 by Walter Meyer |
