Halt! by Schubert

The dynamic duo in one of their celebrated early collaborations [1962] .. I dedicate this post to the
wonderful FiDiTanzer528 :)

Halt! from the song cycle, Die Schöne Müllerin, by Franz Schubert

Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Baritone
Gerald Moore, Piano


Halt!

Eine Mühle seh ich blicken
Aus den Erlen heraus,
Durch Rauschen und Singen
Bricht Rädergebraus.

Ei willkommen, ei willkommen,
Süßer Mühlengesang!
Und das Haus, wie so traulich!
Und die Fenster, wie blank!

Und die Sonne, wie helle
Von Himmel sie scheint!
Ei, Bächlein, liebes Bächlein,
War es also gemeint?

------
I see a mill looking
Out from the alders;
Through the roaring and singing
Bursts the clatter of wheels.

Hey, welcome, welcome!
Sweet mill-song!
And the house, so comfortable!
And the windows, how clean!

And the sun, how brightly
it shines from Heaven!
Hey, brooklet, dear brook,
Was this, then, what you meant?
