Die Forelle- Poem by Christian Schubert; music by Franz Schubert

Thank you for listening.

In case you wanted to know the translation of my latest sub, here it is:

In a clear little brook there darted merrily about a playful trout shooting by like an arrow. I stood on  the bank and watched with contentment the happy little fish bathing in the clear little brook.

A fisherman with his rod was also standing on the bank and coldly observed the little fish's movements. "As long as the water stays clear," I thought, "and not muddied, he'll never catch the trout with his hook."

But eventually the thief found the wait too long. So he stirred up the little brook and before I hardly knew it he jerked his rod and there dangled the little fish while I, with my pulse racing, just stared at the betrayed one.
