The sound sample is an electronic preview
This is one of three settings by Franz Schubert
of words from Goethe's "Wilhelm Meister"
The original words are
Wer nie sein Brot mit Tränen ass,
wer nie die kummervollen Nächte
auf seinem Bette weinend sass,
der kennt euch nicht, ihr himmlischen Mächte.
Ihr führt ins Leben uns hinein,
ihr lasst den Armen schuldig werden,
dann überlasst ihr ihn der Pein;
denn alle Schuld rächt sich auf Erden.
My singing translation for the vocal version is:
Who never ate his bread with tears
Who never sits by night and cowers
Upon his bed in sobbing fears
He does not know you, heavenly powers
You lead us into life's domain
You let the poor suffer debt and dearth
Then leave him to deal with pain
for ev'ry guilt's avenged here on earth
The complete set comprises:
Wer sich der Einsamkeit ergibt
Wer nie sein Brot mit Tränen ass
An die Türen
