Wandrers Nachtlied

In a continuing attempt to practice my German pronunciation, I recorded a video of myself reciting Goethe's Wanderers Nachtlied. It's a very short poem that I jotted down on my oversized clipboard and performed in my back yard.

Über allen Gipfeln
Ist Ruh,
In allen Wipfeln
Spürest du
Kaum einen Hauch;
Die Vögelein schweigen im Walde.
Warte nur, balde
Ruhest du auch.

I spent about 30 minutes practicing the pronunciation of the word "spürest." The combination of sounds that go into making this one word feels like chewing the same stick of gum for three hours!
