The Wind and the Weather

Song Cycle by Julia Schwartz (b. 1963)

1. Der Wind als Liebender & Wind und Geige  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Der monddurchbleichte Wald
liegt totenstumm.
                                           
Da kommt ein Wind
von ferne sacht gewandelt,
hoch über seine tausend Häupter her.
                                           
Die Espe neben mir, die merkts zuerst
und gibt sich zitternd hin.
                                           
Und weiter eilt,
als wie ein Liebender sein Mädchen sucht,
der sachte Wind.
                                           
Nun rauscht der Waldrand drüben
jenseits der Wiese auf.
                                           
Und wieder stehn
die mondlichtbleichen Stämme
totenstumm.
