by Stefan George (1868 - 1933)

Ich darf nicht dankend
 (Sung text for setting by A. Schoenberg)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich darf nicht dankend an dir niedersinken ·
Du bist vom geist der flur aus der wir stiegen:
Will sich mein trost an deine wehmut schmiegen
So wird sie zucken um ihm abzuwinken.

Verharrst du bei dem quälenden beschlusse
Nie deines leides nähe zu gestehen
Und nur mit ihm und mir dich zu ergehen
Am eisigklaren tief-entschlafnen flusse?

Composition:

    Set to music by Arnold Franz Walter Schoenberg (1874 - 1951), "Ich darf nicht dankend", op. 14 (2 Lieder) no. 1 (1907-8)
