Denn Er hat seinen Engeln behohlen über dir For He Shall Give His

Denn Er hat seinen Engeln behohlen über dir
Psalm 91:11.12
Denn Er hat seinen Engeln befohlen über dir,
daß sie dich behüten auf allen deinen Wegen,
daß sie dich auf den Händen tragen
und du deinen Fuß nicht an einen Stein stoßest.
Coronach (Sir Walter Scott)
Er ist uns geschieden
vom Berg und vom Walde
Wie versiegte Quelle,
als Not uns bedrängte.
Die Quelle wird fliessen,
genährt von dem Regen,
Uns scheint nie mehr Freude,
dem Duncan kein Morgen.
For He Shall Give His Angels Charge Over Thee
Psalm 91:11-12
For He shall give His angels charge over thee,
to keep thee in all thy ways.
They shall bear thee up in their hands
lest thou dash thy foot against a stone,
to keep thee in all thy ways.
Coronach
He is gone on the mountain,
He is lost to the forest,
Like a summer - dried fountain,
When our need was the sorest.
The font reappearing
From the raindrops shall borrow,
But to us comes no cheering,
To Duncan no morrow!
Die Hand des Schnitters
nimmt reife Ähren,
Unser Trauergesang klag
blühende Jugend.
Der Herbstwind treibt Blätter,
die gelben, die welken,
Es blüht' unsre Blume,
als Mehltau sie welkte.
The hand of the reaper
Takes the ears that are hoary,
But the voice of the weeper
Wails manhood in glory.
The autumn winds rushing
Waft the leaves that are serest,
But our flower was in flushing
When blighting was nearest.
Ihr flüchtigen Füsse,
du Rat in Bedrängnis,
Du Arm im Streite,
wie tief ist dein Schlummer.
Wie Tau auf den Bergen,
wie Schaum auf dem Bache,
Wie Blas' auf der Welle
bist ewig geschieden.
Ständchen (Franz Grillparzer)
Zögernd leise
In des Dunkels nächt'ger [Stille]1
Sind wir hier;
Und den Finger sanft gekrümmt,
Leise, leise,
Pochen wir
An des Liebchens Kammertür.
Fleet foot on the correi,
Sage counsel in cumber,
Red hand in the foray,
How sound is thy slumber!
Like the dew on the mountain,
Like the foam on the river
Like the bubble on the fountain,
Thou art gone, and for ever.
Serenade
Hesitantly quiet
in the dark of the night's stillness,
we are here,
and, our fingers softly bent,
gently, gently
we knock
at the beloved's chamber door.
Doch nun steigend,
Schwellend, schwellend, hebend
Mit vereinter Stimme, laut
Rufen aus wir hochvertraut:
Schlaf du nicht,
Wenn der Neigung Stimme spricht!
And now growing,
swelling, swelling,
with one combined voice, loudly
we call with confidence;
don't sleep
when the voice of love speaks!
Sucht' ein Weiser nah und ferne
Menschen einst mit der Laterne;
Wieviel seltner dann als Gold
Menschen, uns geneigt und hold?
Drum, wenn Freundschaft, Liebe spricht:
Freundin, Liebchen, schlaf du nicht!
A wise man once looked near and far
with a lantern for true human beings;
how much more rare than gold
are those people whom we like and find lovely?
So, when friendship and love speaks,
my friend - my love - don't sleep!
Aber was in allen Reichen
Wär' dem Schlummer zu vergleichen?
Drum statt Worten und statt Gaben
But what of all the riches
could be as valuable as sleep?
So instead of words and instead of gifts
1
Sollst du nun auch Ruhe haben.
Noch ein Grüßchen, noch ein Wort,
Es verstummt dir frohe Weise,
Leise, leise,
Schleichen wir uns, ja, schleichen wir uns wieder fort!
you should now also have rest.
Just one more greeting, one more word;
then our merry song for you falls silent.
Quietly, quietly,
we steal away, yes we steal away again!
