Der Lindenbaum by Franz Schubert — Lyrics
Am Brunnen vor dem Tore
Da steht ein Lindenbaum;
Ich träumt in seinem Schatten
So manchen süßen Traum.
Ich schnitt in seine Rinde
So manches liebe Wort;
Es zog in Freud' und Leide
Zu ihm mich immer fort.
Ich mußt' auch heute wandern
Vorbei in tiefer Nacht,
Da hab' ich noch im Dunkel
Die Augen zugemacht.

About Der Lindenbaum
Schubert's Der Lindenbaum, originally conceived as a solo song, is presented here in a two-part arrangement for solo tenor and solo baritone. The German text speaks of the profound emotional connection to a linden tree, a place of solace and sweet dreams, where the narrator carved words of affection. It recounts a solitary night journey past the tree, where its rustling branches seem to offer rest. Even now, far from the tree, the memory of its rustling and the promise of peace continues to resonate with the narrator, reflecting a deep sense of longing and remembrance found within this beloved Lieder.
