Der träumende See by Robert Schumann — Lyrics
Der See ruht tief
im blauen Traum
von Wasserblumen zugedeckt.
Ihr Vöglein hoch im Fichtenbaum,
dass ihr mir nicht den Schläfer weckt!

About Der träumende See
Robert Schumann's Der träumende See is a secular German part-song for mixed voices (SATB) and also TTBB. The text paints a serene nocturnal scene: the lake lies deep in a blue dream, covered by waterlilies, while birds in the fir trees are warned not to wake the sleeper. The gentle breeze stirs the reeds, and a solitary blue butterfly flits across the tranquil surface. Schumann captures this idyllic, dreamlike atmosphere with music that reflects the quietude and natural beauty described in the lyrics, creating a piece that evokes a sense of peaceful contemplation and delicate imagery.
