Sechs Gesänge aus der Ferne, Gesang und Klavier

by Julian Raoul Besset (b. 1939)

Abschied

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Aber du kamst nie mit dem Abend -
Ich saß im Sternenmantel.

... Wenn es an mein Haus pochte,
War es mein eigenes Herz.

Das hängt nun an jedem Türpfosten,
Auch an deiner Tür;

Zwischen Farren verlöschende Feuerrose
Im Braun der Guirlande.

Ich färbte dir den Himmel brombeer
Mit meinem Herzblut.

Aber du kamst nie mit dem Abend -
... Ich stand in goldenen Schuhen.
