Einklang (Einkehr) by Hugo Wolf — Lyrics
;Einklang
Weil jetzo alles stille ist
und alle Menschen schlafen,
mein' Seel' das ew'ge Licht begrüßt,
ruht wie ein Schiff im Hafen.
Der falsche Fleiß, die Eitelkeit,
was keinen mag erlaben,

About Einklang (Einkehr)
Hugo Wolf's Einklang (Einkehr) is a sacred song for SATB choir, setting a German text that speaks of inner peace and spiritual awakening. The lyrics describe a soul greeting the eternal light as the world around falls silent and sleeps, finding rest like a ship in harbour. Worldly distractions, vanity, and the busyness of the day are cast aside, buried deep. A different, wondrous king enters this quiet realm, bringing regal senses and ascending to eternal heights. The music likely reflects this contemplative and devotional mood, suitable for moments of reflection and spiritual contemplation.
