Wasser-Oratorium

Oratorio by Enjott Schneider (b. 1950)

5. Quellen  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Quellen, sie münden herauf,
beinah zu eilig
Was treibt aus Gründen herauf,
heiter und heilig?
 
Lässt dort im Edelstein
Glanz sich breiten,
um uns am Wiesenrain
schlicht zu begleiten.
 
Wir, was erwidern wir
Solcher Gebärde?
Ach, wie zergliedern wir
Wasser und Erde.
