Bangen
 (Sung text for setting by H. Holliger)
 Matches base text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich habe so lang gewartet auf süße
Töne ind Grüße, nur eine Klang.
 
Nun ist mir bang; nicht Töne und Klingen,
nur Nebel dringen im Überschwang.
 
Was heimlich sang auf dunkler Lauer:
Versüße mir, Trauer, jetzt schweren Gang.
