Viel geiler wäre natürlich dieses hier (im Moment aber nicht angebracht. Erst wieder ab nächster Woche oder so):
"On this Island" op. 11 - Let the Florid Music Praise!
Benjamin BRITTEN (1913-1976)
Text by W. H. Auden (1907-1973)
Let the florid music praise,
The flute and the trumpet,
Beauty's conquest of your face:
In that land of flesh and bone,
Where from citadels on high
Her imperial standards fly,
Let the hot sun
Shine on, shine on.
O but the unlov'd have had power,
The weeping and striking,
Always; time will bring their hour:
Their secretive children walk
Through your vigilance of breath
To unpardonable death,
And my vows break
Before his look.
