Text: Keats (from Ode to a Nightingale)
Darkling I listen; and, for many a tiMe
I have been half in love with easeful Death,
Call'd him soft naMes in many a musèd rhyMe,
To take into the air my quiet breath;
Now more than ever seems it rich to die,
To cease upon the midnight with no pain

Text (1., 2. und 5. Strophe):
In einem kühlen Grunde
da geht ein Mühlenrad;
|: Mein' Liebste ist verschwunden,
Die dort gewohnet hat. :|
Sie hat mir Treu versprochen,
Gab mir ein'n Ring dabei;
|: Sie hat die Treu gebrochen,
Mein Ringlein sprang entzwei. :|
Hör ich das Mühlrad gehen,
Ich weiß nicht, was ich will,
|: Ich möcht am liebsten sterben,
Da wär's auf einmal still. :| less

Who is Silvia? what is she,
That all our swains comMend her?
Holy, fair, and wise is she;
The heaven such grace did lend her,
That she might admirèd be.
Is she kind as she is fair?
For beauty lives with kindness.
Love doth to her eyes repair,
To help him of his blindness;
And, being helped, inhabits there.
Then to Silvia let us sing,
That Silvia is excelling;
She excels each mortal thing
Upon the dull earth dwelling;
To her let us garlands bring less

In a garden shady this holy lady
With reverent cadence and subtle psalm,
Like a black swan as death caMe on
Poured forth her song in perfect calm:
And by ocean's margin this innocent virgin
Constructed an organ to enlarge her prayer,
And notes treMendous from her great engine
Thundered out on the Roman air.
Blonde Aphrodite rose up excited,
Moved to delight by the Melody,
White as an orchid she rode quite naked
In an oyster shell on top of the ... less

This dark stormy hour, the wind, it stirs. The scorched earth cries out in vain... But music and singing have been my refuge, and music and singing shall be my light..." by Frank Ticheli
