Evighetsträngtan : Tre sånger

Song Cycle by Moses Pergament (1893 - 1977)

1. Drömmaren
 (Sung text)

Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
"Vadan, trötte främling?" - Han svarar icke.
"Vila! Njut en svalkande dryck!" - Han vandrar
tyst förbi och stirrar alltjamnt mot ett trolöst
   vinkande fjärran.

2. Svårmodets son
 (Sung text)

Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Vart han går, av nattliga moln betäckes
himlen, fågeln tystnar och ängen gulnar,
källans sorl förstummas, och kalken sluter
doftande blomman.

3. Havsnatt
 (Sung text)

Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Sunnanvindens kårar blåsa ljumt och matt.
Blåa, tunga tårar gråter havets natt.
Sörja alla vatten sorg som ingen vet --
och den tysta natten blir till evighet.

Text Authorship:

  • by Anders Österling (1884 - 1981)
