Alban Berg: Die Nachtigall
(Theodor Storm)
(Recital, Track 7)
|
It happens that the nightingale has
sung all night;
from her sweet song,
in its echoing and re-echoing,
the roses have sprung up.
She used to be a wild creature. Now deep in thought she goes, carries in her hand a summer hat, and silently bears the sun's heat, and knows not what to do next. It happens that the nightingale has sung all night; from her sweet song, in its echoing and re-echoing, the roses have sprung up. |
