Hysj – Bla stille om – Fra Rilke til Dahle

Song Cycle by Synne Skouen (b. 1950)

[No title]
 (Sung text for setting by S. Skouen)
 Matches base text

Language: Norwegian (Bokmål) 
Livet ditt er ikke denne bratte timen
der vi ser deg haste av sted.
Du er et tre, som skygger for deg
du er bare én av dine mange munner;
den, som skal tie først.

Du er hvilen mellom to toner
som ikke harmonerer:
for dødstonen vil stige -
men i dette dunkle intervall
forenes de, skjelvende.
             Und das Lied bleibt schön

Gro Dahle, Alle fugler, Cappelen forlag, 2007; Note: Gro Dahles diktsamling åpner med setningen Hysj. Bla stille om. Synne Skouen er takknemlig for tillatelsen til å framføre hennes dikt, som – slik jeg har sett det og anvendt det – så fint henter Rilke ned i vår tid.
