Käferlied (Beetle Ditty) Alexander von Zemlinsky "Fantasien auf Gedichte von Richard Dehmel" (Fantasies on Poems of Richard Dehmel), arr. clarinet and piano by James Breed Texts, by Richard Dehmel 1. Stimme des Abends. Die Flur will ruhn; In Halmen und Zweigen Ein leises Neigen. Dir ist als hörst du Die Nebel steigen. Du horchst - und nun: Dir wird: als störst du Mit deinen Schuh'n Ihr Schweigen. 2. Waldseligkeit. Der Wald beginnt zu rauschen, Den Bäumen naht die Nacht; Als ob sie selig lauschen, Berühren sie sich sacht. Und unter ihren Zweigen, Da bin ich ganz allein, Da bin ich ganz mein eigen Ganz nur Dein. 3. Liebe Du sahst durch meine Seele in die Welt, Es war auch deine Seele: still versanken Im Strom des Schauens zwischen uns die Schranken Es ruhten Welt und Du in mir gesellt. 4. Käferlied Maiker, Maiker, surr, Bleib nur sitzen, burr. Breite deine Fühler aus, Mach zwei kleine Fächer draus, Schwing sie hin und her, Zähle mi wat vör. Zähle, ich will mit dir zählen, Wieviel noch Minuten fehlen Bis mein Schätzulein Wieder wird zu Hause sein. Maiker, Maiker, Sonst holt dich der Deiker. English Translation (by James Breed) 1. Voice of Evening. The field lies still Boughs and grasses leaning gently In the rising mist. All that can be heard, listening intently, Are Nature's rustlings; but now You move, and with your shoes Disturb her silence. 2. Forest Rapture. Now begins the forest's rustling, Trees caress, anticipating night; As if listening, happy with their sounds, Gently touching, hand in hand, in failing light. Here, beneath their outstretched branches, I am quite alone, Lost in wonder, awe; My soul entirely thine. 3. Love My soul within this world lives but through you; So, also, does your soul through me. Now the rivers' banks are down, Our torrents are conjoined: A calmly flowing world Of you in me and me in you. 4. Beetle Ditty Beetle, Oh Beetle, still buzz! Stay and become one of us. Your feelers are wide, Two small fans outside; Rush along here and there, Count up to who knows where. Count with me to twenty-seven, Many minutes still to heaven. Now you've found my treasure box! Back again, to pick the locks? Beetle, my Beetle, still run; Don't, though, forget to have fun!
