German poetry has its ranks. Goethe and Schiller are “the Immortals.” Beneath them are poets of the first, second and other ranks. Heinrich Heine (1797-1856) was a poet of the first rank who spent most of his life in France involved in the waves of political unrest that plagued the country. He would die on a straw mattress in a Paris flophouse. Some said it was from tertiary syphilis, but more recent scholarship indicates it was from chronic lead poisoning.

Born into a Jewish family of indifferent religious observance, Heine converted to the Lutheran faith at age 28. But that didn’t stop the Nazis from banning his poetry. There was something too knowing, too corrupt, too sarcastic for them.

Robert Schumann (1810-1856) spent 1840 setting one poem to music after another, a true miracle year for the composer. He took 16 of the 65 poems in Heine’s “Lyrical Intermezzo” and set them to music under the title “A Poet’s Love” (“Dichterliebe”). The high point is the seventh song, “I Don’t Complain” (“Ich grolle night”), the greatest F-U letter ever set to music. Here is the English translation with Schumann’s interpolations.

I don’t complain,
Even if my heart is breaking.
Love lost forever!
Love lost forever!
I don’t complain.
I don’t complain.
Even though you gleam with the glory of diamonds.
No gleam falls into the night of your heart.
I knew it long ago.
I don’t complain.
I saw you in my dreams,
And saw the night in the confines of your heart,
And saw the snake that gnaws at your bosom,
I saw, my love, how wretched you are.
I don’t complain.
I don’t complain.

You would expect Schumann to set the poem in a minor key, but he sets it in a glorious blaze of C major. It’s unspeakable bitterness smiling through murderous rage.

Schumann: “I Don’t Complain,” Op. 48/7

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...you and Blue ready for the weekend?

[luvie]

I’m so glad you’re back posting your wonderful music knowledge for the rest of us to enjoy. That was a great rendition of that composition, I think.

[Publius]

Oh, it’s a killer version that reveals the blackness of the poem. Kudos to Schumann and Keenlyside for nailing Heine’s verse.

It helps to have good interpretations of what was meant.

[PerConPat]

IMO, it has the best lyrics of all the truckin' songs...

My rig's a little old, but that don't mean she's slow
There's a flame from her stack and the smoke's rolling black as coal

Thanks. I have to take a lot of pics to get one worth keeping. I went to the edge of the corn and started walking along, popping off shots. This one was a pleasant surprise, “sitting” on the corn leaf.

[luvie]

Yes! It’s like the leaf is propping it up!
