Geist- und Weltliche Poëmata - Fleming, Paul 1609-1640 (Jena Sengenwalden, 1660)
Paul Fleming (1609-1640), was a German physician and poet. Fleming is one of the writers now called "the Silesian poets" or "the Silesian school". As a lyricist he stands in the front rank of German poets.
Fleming wrote the hymn in nine stanzas "In allen meinen Taten" on the melody of "Innsbruck, ich muss dich lassen" by Heinrich Isaac, which is contained in several hymnals. Johann Sebastian Bach used the final stanza to close both cantatas Meine Seufzer, meine Tränen (BWV 13) and Sie werden euch in den Bann tun (BWV 44). The complete hymn is the base for Bach's chorale cantata In allen meinen Taten (BWV 97). Already in the 17th century another composer, David Pohle (1624–1695), had set twelve of Fleming's love-songs to music. Johannes Brahms set "Lass dich nur nichts bedauern" as Geistliches Lied, Op. 30.
