Fischerweise
Den Fischer fechten Sorgen Und Gram und Leid nicht an; Er löst am frühen Morgen Mit leichtem Sinn den Kahn.Da lagert rings noch Friede Auf Wald und Flur und Bach, Er ruft mit seinem LiedeDie gold’ne Sonne wach.Er singt zu seinem Werke Aus voller frischer Brust, Die Arbeit gibt ihm Stärke, Die Stärke Lebenslust.Bald wird ein bunt’ GewimmelIn allen Tiefen lautUnd plätschert durch den Himmel, Der sich im Wasser baut.Doch wer ein Netz will stellen, Braucht Augen klar und gut, Muss heiter gleich den Wellen Und frei sein wie die Flut.Dort angelt auf der BrückeDie Hirtin, Schlauer Wicht,Gib auf nur deiner Tücke,Den Fisch betrügst du nicht!
Fisherman's Ditty
The fisherman is not plaguedby cares, grief or sorrow.In the early morning he casts off his boat with a light heart.Round about, peace still lies over forest, meadow and stream, with his song the fishermanbids the golden sun awake.He sings at his workfrom a full, vigorous heart. His work gives him strength, his strength exhilarates him.Soon a bright multitudewill resound in the depths, and splashthrough the watery heavens.But whoever wishes to set a net needs good, dear eyes,must be as cheerful as the waves, and as free as the tide.There, on the bridge, the shepherdess is fishing. Cunning wench,leave off your tricks!You won’t deceive this fish!

Composer
Franz Peter Schubert was an late Classical and early Romantic composer. He produced a vast oeuvre during his short life, composing more the 600 vocal works (largely Lieder), and well as several symphonies, operas, and a large body of piano music. He was uncommonly gifted from a young age, but appreciation of his music was limited during his lifetime. His work became more popular in the decades after his death, and was praised by 19th century composers, including Mendelssohn, Schumann, Brahms, and Liszt.
