The University at Albany sits at the confluence of the Hudson and Mohawk rivers on the traditional lands of the Kanien’keháka and Muh-he-con-neok people, who stewarded this land for generations before the arrival of European colonists. The Kanien’keháka (People of the Flint) and Muh-he-con-neok (People of the Waters that are Never Still) are more commonly known today as the Mohawk Haudenosaunee and StockbridgeMunsee Band of Mohicans. Despite the similarity of their westernized names, the Mohawk and Mohican were culturally and linguistically distinct. The UAlbany community recognizes that we live and work on the homelands of sovereign Indigenous nations with rich histories and cultures that continue today – both within New York and beyond. As an institution devoted to teaching, scholarship, and service, we strive to understand and learn from our history and to affirm Indigenous rights and issues. To this end, we are committed to cultivating reciprocal relationships with Indigenous communities focused on equity, social justice, and sustainability – and dismantling legacies of colonization.

Seit ich ihn gesehen by Robert Schumann Seit ich ihn gesehen, Since I saw him, Glaub ich blind zu sein; I think I'm blind; Wo ich hin nur blicke, Everywhere I look, Seh ich ihn allein; I see him alone; Wie im wachen Traume Like in a waking dream Schwebt sein Bild mir vor, His image floats before me, Taucht aus tiefstem Dunkel, Emerges from the deepest darkness, Heller nur empor. Only brighter up. Sonst ist licht- und farblos Alles um mich her, Nach der Schwestern Spiele Nicht begehr ich mehr, Möchte lieber weinen, Still im Kämmerlein; Seit ich ihn gesehen, Glaub ich blind zu sein
Otherwise it is lightless & colorless Everything around me After the sisters games I don't desire any more, I'd rather cry Quiet in the closet; Since I saw him, I think I'm blind
Er, der Herrlichste von allen by Robert Schumann He, the most glorious of all, Er, der Herrlichste von allen, How so mild, how so good! Wie so milde, wie so gut! Fair lips, clear eyes, Holde Lippen, klares Auge, Bright mind and firm courage. Heller Sinn und fester Mut. So wie dort in blauer Tiefe, Hell und herrlich, jener Stern, Also er an meinem Himmel, Hell und herrlich, hehr und fern.
Just like there in the blue depths, Bright and glorious, that star, So he in my sky, Bright and wonderful, noble & distant.
Wandle, wandle deine Bahnen; Nur betrachten deinen Schein, Nur in Demut ihn betrachten,Selig nur und traurig sein!
Change, change your paths; Just look at your glow, Just look at him with humility, Only be happy and sad!
Höre nicht mein stilles Beten, Deinem Glücke nur geweiht; Darfst mich niedre Magd nicht kennen, Hoher Stern der Herrlichkeit!
Don't hear my silent prayer, Only dedicated to your happiness; You may not know me, lowly maid, High star of glory!
Nur die Würdigste von allen Darf beglücken deine Wahl, Und ich will die Hohe segnen, Viele tausendmal.
Only the worthiest of all May your choice make you happy, And I will bless the high one, Many thousands of times.
Will mich freuen dann und weinen, Selig, selig bin ich dann; Sollte mir das Herz auch brechen, Brich, o Herz, was liegt daran?
I want to rejoice and then cry, Blessed, blessed am I then; Even if my heart breaks, Break, oh heart, what does it matter?
