Venetian Stanzas

Song Cycle by Arturs Maskats (b. 1957)

3.   [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ave weht von den Türmen her,
immer noch hörst du die Kirchen erzählen ;
doch die Paläste an stillen Kanälen
verraten nichts mehr.
Und vorbei an der Traumesruh
ihrer schlafenden Stirnen schwanken
leise Gondeln wie schwarze Gedanken
dem Abend zu.
