Kleine Blumen, kleine Blätter by Carl Blum — Lyrics
Kleine Blumen, kleine Blätter
streuen dir mit leichter Hand,
gute, junge Frühlingsgötter,
tändelnd auf ein luftig Band.
Zephir, nimm's auf deine Flügel,
schling's um meiner Liebsten Kleid;
und so tritt sie vor den Spiegel,
all in ihrer Munterkeit.

About Kleine Blumen, kleine Blätter
Carl Blum was a prolific composer of German Lieder and settings of dramatic texts. Kleine Blumen, kleine Blätter is a secular partsong for TTBB male voices. The German text expresses the joy of spring, with mythological figures scattering flowers and Zephir carrying them to the beloved. The speaker longs for a deeper connection than the fleeting beauty of roses, wishing for a strong bond of love. The music, no doubt, reflects this imagery with a light and airy touch, suitable for a charming choral performance.
