Spohr, Six German Songs for Soprano, Clarinet, and Piano, Op. 103

Charlotte Wajnberg (no offense) and some other people perform ...

 Earth lay before me in a spring dream

 Suffused with warmth and light,

 And drunk with joy I wafted through space,

 Blossoms burst forth from my breast;

 Love's springtime awakened in me.

 Now frost shudders through me; in my soul it is night.

 Be still, my heart, and give it no thought:

 This now is reality, the rest was delusion.

 

 Out of sunshine and flowers I built myself

 A bridge through life

 Passing over which, laurel-crowned,

 I devoted myself to the noblest of strivings.

 Man's gratitude was my finest reward;

 The crowd laughs aloud now with impudent scorn.

 Be still, my heart, and give it no thought:

 This now is reality, the rest was delusion.

Good morning.
