All meine Herzgedanken, Op. 62, No. 5 by Johannes Brahms — Lyrics
All’ meine Herzgedanken sind immerdar bei dir;
das ist das stille Kranken, das innen zehrt an mir.
Da du mich einst umfangen hast,
ist mir gewichen Ruh’ und Rast.
Der Maßlieb und der Rosen begehr’ ich fürder nicht,
wie kann ich Lust erlosen, wenn Liebe mir gebricht!

About All meine Herzgedanken, Op. 62, No. 5
Johannes Brahms's All meine Herzgedanken is a secular setting for SAATBB voices of a German text expressing deep personal longing. The words describe a heart consumed by thoughts of a distant beloved, a condition that steals peace and rest. The singer laments the loss of joy and the inability to find comfort in nature's beauty, feeling only the absence of love. A plea for reunion follows, invoking divine protection for true love and expressing faith that all will ultimately be well, despite current suffering. This rich part-song offers an opportunity to explore complex emotional states through intricate vocal textures.
