Pierrot

(Sung text for setting by C. Griffes)

See base text

Language: English

Our translations: GER

Pierrot stands in the garden
Beneath a waning moon,
And on his lute he fashions
A little silver tune.

Pierrot plays in the garden,
He thinks he plays for me,
But I am quite forgotten
Under the cherry tree.

Pierrot plays in the garden,
And all the roses know
That Pierrot loves his music, --
But I love Pierrot.

Composition:

Charles Tomlinson Griffes
