Ich stund an einem Morgen (tenor) by Ludwig Senfl — Lyrics
Ich stund an einem morgen/
heimich an einem ort/
da het ich mich verborgen/
Ich hört klegliche wort/
von einem frewlen hübsch und fein/
sie sprach zu jrem buelen
es muß gescheiden sein.
2. Hertz lieb ich hab vernumen/
du wölst von hinnen schier/
wen wiltu wider kumen/
das soltu sagen mir/
nun merk mein feins lieb was ich sag/
mein zukunft thust mich fragen/
was weder stund noch tag.
3. Das frewlein weinet sere
Sein hertz was unmuts wol/
so gib mir weis und lere/
was ich mich halten sol/
für dich so setz ich al mein hab/
und wiltu hie bebleiben/
verzer dich iar und tag.

About Ich stund an einem Morgen (tenor)
This SATB setting of a German secular Lieder text paints a poignant scene of lovers parting. The first stanza finds the singer hidden, overhearing a maiden lamenting that separation is inevitable. She questions her beloved when he will return, and he asks her to heed his words. The maiden weeps, her heart full of woe, and asks for guidance, offering all she has if he will only stay. The young man answers her devotion with a vow, promising a year will swiftly pass, implying a reunion.
