Eifersucht und Stolz
Wilhelm Müller

Wohin so schnell, so [kraus, so]1 wild, mein lieber Bach?
Eilst du voll Zorn dem frechen Bruder Jäger nach?
Kehr um, kehr um, und schilt erst deine Müllerin
Für ihren leichten, losen, kleinen Flattersinn.

Sahst du sie gestern abend nicht am Tore stehn,
Mit langem Halse nach der großen Straße sehn?
Wenn vom den Fang der Jäger lustig zieht nach Haus,
Da steckt kein sittsam Kind den Kopf zum Fenster 'naus.

Geh, Bächlein, hin und sag ihr das; doch sag ihr nicht,
Hörst du, kein Wort von meinem traurigen Gesicht.
Sag ihr: Er schnitzt bei mir sich eine Pfeif' aus Rohr
Und bläst den Kindern schöne Tänz' und Lieder vor.
=====
Jealousy and Pride

To where are you going so quickly, so ruffled and wild, my dear brook?
Do you hurry full of anger for the arrogant hunter?
Turn around and scold first your millermaid,
For her light, loose, little flirtatious mind,

Didn't you see her standing at the gate last night,
Craning her neck toward the large street?
When the hunter returns gaily home from the catch,
No decent girl sticks her head out the window.

Go, brooklet, and tell her that; but tell her not,
do you hear? - tell her no word of my sad face.
Tell her: he is carving a pipe of cane
And plays pretty dances and songs for the children.

Appropriate contemporary paintings- for instance, i see Constable was working on my favourite painting of his here, The Leaping Horse (+ sketches), in 1824, round when Schubert completed + published this song cycle, from what i've just gathered.

Wow - amazing! That seems right:) I just chose them 'cause I love Constable ... and, too, I guess it seemed contemporaneous. Thanks for commenting!

[mizofan]

I searched Schubert Constable and this came up, so looks like yours may be the only one with this combination.
