Song of all Seasons

Song Cycle by Walter Hekster (b. 1937)

1. Frühlingsnacht  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ein jeder Augenblick der Frühlingsnacht
Ist viele tausend Silberstücke wert.
Die Blumen atmen reinen Wohlgeruch,
Der Mond [streut]1 seine Schatten rings umher.

Gesang und Flötenspiel tönt vom [Balkon]2,
Leis ziehn die Töne durch die weite Ruh.
[Die Schaukel steht im Garten]3 einsam da,
Es sinkt die Nacht den Morgenstunden zu.
