Die Lilien im Garten by Eduard Adolf Tod — Lyrics
Die Lilien im Garten,
die geben so hellen Schein.
Mein Schatz thut auf mich warten,
Der Mond schaut zu ihr hinein.
Sie sitzt im trauten Stübchen,
und weint weil ich wandern muß;
O weine nicht Feinsliebchen,
Es ist des Himmels Schluß.

About Die Lilien im Garten
The lilies in the garden shine so brightly in this German secular partsong for TTBB voices. The text paints a tender scene of a lover preparing to depart, his beloved weeping in her room as the moon watches. He reassures her, speaking of two huts in the valley that could be their home, but laments that he must leave his homeland. The music likely reflects the melancholic yet tender emotions of parting, with the male voices offering a rich texture for the expressive narrative. This work belongs to the rich tradition of German Lied and folksong settings, offering a poignant reflection on love and separation.
