Ich hört ein Sichelein rauschen — Lyrics
1. Ich hört ein Sichelein rauschen,
Wohl rauschen durch das Korn,
Ich hört ein feine Magd klagen,
Sie hätt' ihr Lieb verlor'n.
2. Laß rauschen, Lieb, laß rauschen,
Ich acht' nit, wie es geht,

About Ich hört ein Sichelein rauschen
This German folk song, Ich hört ein Sichelein rauschen, is arranged for SATB choir. The text paints a picture of a maiden lamenting the loss of her love, contrasting her sorrow with the sounds of a sickle rustling through the corn. She speaks of finding a new sweetheart among the violets and green clover, while the singer remains alone, her heart aching. This arrangement captures the essence of traditional secular German folk music, offering a poignant narrative through its rich vocal harmonies.
