Einsam wandelt dein Freund im Frühlingsgarten,
Mild vom lieblichen Zauberlicht um flossen,
Das durch wankende Blüthenzweige zittert,
Adelaïde!
In der spiegelnden Fluth, im Schnee der Alpen,
In des sinkenden Tages Goldgewölken,
In Gefilde der Sterne strahlt dein Bildniss,
Adelaïde!
Abendlüftchen im zarten Laube flüstern,
Silberglöckchen des Mais im Grase säuseln,
Wellen rauschen und Nachtigallen flöten,
Adelaïde!
Einst, o Wunder! entblüht auf meinem Grabe,
Eine Blume der Asche meines Herzens
Deutlich schimmert auf jedem Purpurblättchen:
Adelaïde!
-------------------------------------------------
Your friend wanders alone in the garden of spring,
Gently bathed in lovely magical light,
Which shimmers through the swaying branches of flowers:
Adelaide!
In the reflection of the river, in the snows of the Alps,
In the golden clouds of sinking day,
In the fields of stars thy face beams forth,
Adelaide!
Evening breezes whisper through the tender leaves
The silver bells at Maytime rustle in the grass,
Waves roar and nightingales sing,
Adelaide!
Some day, o miracle! a flower will blossom,
Upon my grave from the ashes of my heart;
And clearly on every violet petal will shine:
Adelaide!

purple esprit : German on September 25, 2009Hello AC, you spoke to me about your German studies. You will surely make it, it is not too bad to learn :-)
Here a short verse for your "training":
Das Lied der Wolke
Du hörst es nicht
Wenn die Wolke wandert
Sie zieht lautlos ihre Bahn,
Zeigt dir Bilder
Und weckt Träume -
Bis der Wind sie verweht
Und dich lässt im Wahn.
Greetings from afar,
Ulla xx

on Moonlight Reverie by ACpoetry, on January 16Thank you...
It's more of an admiration, than it is love.
I do utterly love his music, though. With all my heart.
It has a lot of references to his works, including the 'Joy'. If I told you from where all these subtle words were derived it would spoil the poem, and the 'joy' ending contributed to the poem's close ties to his music.
Partly
All his works, really. There was some Moonlight Sonata in there,and the "An angel, my all, my other self" was a spin on "My angel, my all, my very self" or, in German, "Mein Engel, mein Alles, mein Ich". This was written to his Immortal Beloved (Unsterbliche Geliebte), while in Karlsbad. I thought it would be nice to throw in.
