Josef von Eichendorff
Mondnacht

Es war, als hätt' der Himmel
Die Erde still geküsst,
Dass sie im Blütenschimmer
Von ihm nun träumen müsst.

Die Luft ging durch die Felder,
Die Ähren wogten sacht,
Es rauschten leis' die Wälder,
So sternklar war die Nacht.

Und meine Seele spannte
Weit ihre Flügel aus,
Flog durch die stillen Lande,
Als flöge sie nach Haus.

English
Moon-Night
It was as if the sky
Had quietly kissed the earth,
So that in a shower of blossoms
She must only dream of him.

The breeze wafted through the fields,
The ears of corn waved gently,
The forests rustled faintly,
So sparkling clear was the night.

And my soul stretched
its wings out far,
Flew through the still lands,
as if it were flying home.
Translation by Emily Ezust
With all my thanks!

What a great lieder voice!

I like it better than any on YT right now.Only remember this from a Barbra Streisand LP.I'll have to find some more Gura,thank you for the discovery.

Glad you like it. Werner Gura is my absolute favourite and you can find lots of his lieder and some oratorio recordings on my channel.

Perfekt! Zwischen Güra und Schreier kann ich mich bei diesem Lied nicht entscheiden. Beide singen dieses Lied hervorragend.
