Original text

German text

Ihr wandelt droben im Licht,
Auf weichem Boden, selige Genien!
Glänzende Götterlüfte
Rühren euch leicht,
Wie die Finger der Künstlerin
Heilige Saiten.

Schicksallos, wie der schlafende
Säugling, atmen die Himmlischen;
Keusch bewahrt
In bescheidener Knospe
Blühet ewig
Ihnen der Geist,
Und die seligen Augen
Blicken in stiller,
Ewiger Klarheit.

Doch uns ist gegeben
Auf keiner Stätte zu ruhn;
Es schwinden, es fallen
Die leidenden Menschen
Blindlings von einer
Stunde zur andern,
Wie Wasser von Klippe
zu Klippe geworfen,
Jahrlang ins Ungewisse hinab.

Translations need to be added.

Note to the administrators

In my haste to submit my first CPDL contribution, I rushed to the link “Add scores to CPDL” without reading any instruction and I filled the submission form before actually uploading the file (because I thought I would be asked to submit it in the process). Of course I realized my mistake afterwards and I uploaded the PDF file, after having edited the Brahms' page. I hope I did not wreak too much havoc there, and that everything is all right. Please feel free to contact me through my personal page (User:R), not the login name I used to submit the files, which I created for my choir in Paris (User:Coge).

I wrote the links to the PDF file and the Lilypond source code as external links, which is definitely wrong since they are hosted on ChoralWiki, but everything else I tried failed miserably, so I'm keeping it that way for the moment.

This contribution in a whole should be considered very much a work in progress, and I expect to make frequent updates in the next weeks.

I will submit the german text and the english translation shortly.
