Song Text

Einsam wandelt dein Freund im Frühlingsgarten,
Mild vom lieblichen Zauberlicht um flossen,
Das durch wankende Blüthenzweige zittert,
Adelaide!

In der spiegelnden Fluth, im Schnee der Alpen,
In des sinkenden Tages Goldgewölken,
In Gefilde der Sterne strahlt dein Bildniss,
Adelaide!

Abendlüftchen im zarten Laube flüstern,
Silberglöckchen des Mais im Grase säuseln,
Wellen rauschen und Nachtigallen flöten,
Adelaide!

Einst, o Wunder! entblüht auf meinem Grabe,
Eine Blume der Asche meines Herzens
Deutlich schimmert auf jedem Purpurblättchen:
Adelaide!

    (Beethovan - Adelaide) - PS016.pdf will not load for me

    Perhaps the file is corrupted. It loads a little bit, and then “hangs” - failing to load further.

    Works fine for me, but I’d love to figure out why it’s not working for you…

    I’m going to go check the logs and see if that gives me any clues.

    Upon examining the logs, I’d recommend that you clear your cache and try again. In this case, it appears that the server didn’t recognize that you were visiting the PDF file from this website. (The PDF files are “hotlink” protected, meaning that they must be clicked on from this site in order to load. This prevents other unscrupulous sites from leeching the bandwidth.) It’s entirely possible that this system occasionally makes mistakes - hopefully not very frequently!

    Hi David,

    Beethoven - Adelaide <– this hangs after 50-80 KB is transferred
    http://artsongcentral.com/wp-content/uploads/ps016.pdf

    (Only pdf file I’ve encountered which does this…

    Clearing my cache had no effect.

    Is anyone else having a problem with this file? I’m still trying to figure out the source of the problem!
