Verwelkte Bücher
 (Sung text for setting by G. Coates)
 Matches base text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Die Bücher sind verwelkt
Die Buchstaben alle verweht

Das Feuer hat meine Bücher verwelkt
Und der Wind alle Buchstaben verweht

Einsam steht das Haus und weint
Die Bücher sind verwelkt

Die Bücher sind verwelkt
Die Buchstaben alle verwischt

Das Feuer hat meine Bücher versehrt
Der Rauch alle Buchstaben verschleiert

Einsam steht das Haus mit grossen
Schreienden Augen

Composition:

    Set to music by Gloria Coates (b. 1938), "Verwelkte Bücher"
