Die Liebenden
 (Sung text for setting by E. Norby)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Sieh, wie sie zueinander erwachsen:
in ihren Adern wird alles Geist.
Ihre Gestalten beben wie Achsen,
um die es heiß und hinreißend kreist.
Dürstende, und sie bekommen zu trinken,
Wache und sieh : sie bekommen zu sehn.
Laß sie ineinander sinken,
um einander zu überstehn. 

Composition:

    Set to music by Erik Norby (1936 - 2007), "Die Liebenden", 1985 [ mezzo-soprano and orchestra ], from Rilke-Lieder, no. 2
