liza lehmann - endymion lyrics

the rising moon has hid the stars
her level rays like golden bars
lie on the landscape green
with shadows brown between
and silver+white the river gleams
as if diana, in her dreams
had dropp’d her silver bow
upon the meadows low
on such a tranquil night as this
she woke endymion with a kiss
when sleeping in the grove
he dreamed not of her love
like dian’s kiss unask’d unsought
love gives itself, but is not bought
nor voice nor sound betrays
its deep impassioned gaze

it comes, the bеautiful, the free;
the crown, of all humanity
in silencе, and alone
to seek the elected one
it lifts the boughs whose shadows deep
are life’s oblivion, the soul’s sleep
and kisses the closed eyes
of him who slumbering lies
oh, weary hearts, oh, slumbering eyes
oh, drooping souls whose destinies
are fraught with fear and pain
ye shall be loved again!
no one is so accursed by fate
no one so utterly desolate
but some heart, though unknown
responds unto his own, responds
as though with unseen wings
an angel touched the quiv’ring strings
and whispers in its song
where hast thou stayed so long?
