lyrics:
some stanzas from a German Folkssong, which everybody knows but nobody remembers the lyrics |
tune: German Folkssong |
On
the Internet Site of Folkssongs in all languages I chose the second midi-tune as basis for my singing |
There was a lunar eclipse from March 3 to 4, 2007
Guter Mond, du gehst so stille
Durch die Abendwolken hin.
Deines Schöpfers weiser Wille
Hieß auf jene Bahn dich zieh'n.
Leuchte freundlich jedem Müden
In das stille Kämmerlein
Und dein Schimmer gieße Frieden
Ins bedrängte Herz hinein!
Guter Mond, o gieße Frieden
In das arme Menschenherz.
Wende von dem Schmerz hienieden
Uns're Seele himmelwärts.
Mild und freundlich schaust du nieder
Von des Himmels blauem Zelt,
Und es tönen unsre Lieder
Hell hinauf zum Herrn der Welt.
Guter Mond du wandelst leise
An dem blauen Himmelszelt,
Wo dich Gott zu seinem Preise
Hat als Leuchte hingestellt
Blicke traulich zu uns nieder
Durch die Nacht aufs Erdenrund.
Als ein treuer Menschenhüter
Tust du Gottes Liebe kund.
Guter Mond, du gehst so stille
In den Abendwolken hin,
Bist so ruhig, und ich fühle,
Daß ich ohne Ruhe bin.
Traurig folgen meine Blicke
Deiner stillen, heitern Bahn.
O wie hart ist mein Geschicke,
Daß ich dir nicht folgen kann.
Ach, daß auch in uns're Herzen
Himmelsruhe zöge ein,
Daß wir immer frei von Schmerzen,
Stets zufrieden möchten sein!
Sanft umströmet uns dein Schimmer,
Klarer milder Mondenschein
Menschenherz, o daß du immer
Wärst wie dieses Licht so rein!

- Mika's Heaven on Earth Since August 1, 2009, I employ song-page after song-page for documenting and exploring the evolution of Mika my youngest grandchild, whose assignment seems to be: to demonstrate to humankind by her own living and doing, how to playfully create from moment to moment "zest-fully and full-filled" [see previous composition] |
"....Manifestation is meant to be
a playground
where being and doing are fun..."
[Godchannel,
Second Interview with the Folks]
Mika, who no longer sleeps during the 8 hours in kindergarden,
enjoyed a good afternoon nap on Shabbat.
The main activity in the afternoon was her preparing a "show".
She invited us, Imma and Savta, as usual before she was ready.
In fact, she never is really ready for her "shows",
for her main fun is to care for the decor, the props, the setting.
So it was Imma who invented the plot for the show
and also acted as only she, a born actress, knows.
The plot was about a fairy, whose right wing was broken.
She needed someone (the monkey) to repair it....
I don't remember the task of her most beloved doll The scene behind Mika seems to be part of the setting! Immanuel applied it to the wall above her bed, when the family moved into this flat half a year ago. |
