Fünf Lieder

Song Cycle by Menachem Bensussan (1901 - 1970)

3. Im Strassenkapellchen  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Bei St. Loretto da brennt ein Licht
vorm Bilde im Straßenkapellchen;
und um das Wandbild schmiegen sich dicht
Blechblumen mit farbigen Kelchen.

Die Heiligen machen ein übel Gesicht;
denn der Sturmwind, der hastige Knab, hat
nicht Achtung für sie; bei Loretto das Licht
schaut fromm in den dämmernden Sabbat.
