Der trübe Winter ist vorbei,
Die Schwalben wiederkehren;
Nun regt sich alles wieder neu;
Die Quellen sich vermehren.

Laub allgemach nun schleicht an Tag,
Die Blümlein nun sich melden;
Wie Schlänglein krumm gehn lächelnd um
Die Bächlein kühl in Wälden.

Wo man nur schaut, fast alle Welt
Zur Freuden sich tut rüsten;
Zum Scherzen alles ist gestellt,
Schwebt alles fast in Lüsten.

Nur ich allein, ich leide Pein,
Ohn' Ende werd ich leiden:
Seit du von mir und ich von dir,
O Liebste, mußte scheiden.

  • @1401JSC ... The leaves gradually slip into the day, The little flowers make themselves known. Like a crooked snake, the stream Goes laughingly through the forest. Wherever one looks, almost all the world Arms itself with Happiness; Everything is fun and jovial, Almost everything is swept up in the merriment. Only I, alone, suffer pain, Without end will I suffer, Ever since you and I, My darling, had to part.

    Melancholic? One cannot compare Griederich Spee von Lagenfeld (the poet) with the 19th century "Spleen" writers in France and Russia!

    Translation (anon)

    The dismal winter is over,

    The swallows are returning;

    Now everything is renewing itself;

    The springs are increasing.

  • This is Mendelssohn's last composition (7th October 1847). Quite a melancholic lied.

  • Schoenes Lied!

    Schoene Stimme!

    Schoenen Dank!

  • Thank you for posting. Great song and a great baritone.
