der traum

last summer

The boat rides we would take
The moonlight on the lake
The way we danced and hummed our favorite song
The things we did last summer
I'll remember all winter long

The midway and the fun
The kewpie doll we won
The bell I rang to prove that I was strong
The things we did last summer
I'll remember all winter long

The early morning hike
The rented tandem bike
The lunches that we used to pack
We never could explain that sudden summer rain
The looks we got when we got back

The leaves begin to fade like promises we made
How could a love that seemed so right go wrong
That things we did last summer
I'll remember all winter long

the things we did last summer

später sommer

Letzte Sommerstimmung. Der Himmel ist grau, es ist kühl geworden, die Pflanzen verändern sich, Andreas spielt das Adagio von Samuel Barber, schlecht geschlafen. 
Aber vielleicht kommt gleich ein schönes Stück von Bach und die Stimmung ändert sich wieder. Gestern waren wir in der Stadt und haben in einem Anfall von Wahnsinn mehrere DVDs und CDs gekauft, Wer weiß wann wir die Filme mal sehen werden. Haben noch so viel auf Vorrat.... Heute abend läuft auf Arte "What´s new Pussycat" den werden wir auf jeden Fall sehen und davor schön was indisches Essen. Dann beginnt die Woche wieder und ich sollte dringend die Lieder üben, wie schade dass ich es noch immer nicht gelernt habe vom Blatt zu singen...

voices of unseen spirits

Richard Hovey

Here falls no light of sun nor stars;
No stir nor striving here intrudes;
No moan nor merry-making mars
The quiet of these solitudes.
Submerged in sleep, the passive soul
Is one with all the things that seem;
Night blurs in one confusèd whole
Alike the dreamer and the dream.
O dwellers in the busy town!
For dreams you smile, for dreams you weep.
Come out, and lay your burdens down!
Come out; there is no God but Sleep.
Sleep, and renounce the vital day;
For evil is the child of life.
Let be the will to live, and pray
To find forgetfulness of strife.
Beneath the thicket of these leaves
No light discriminates each from each.
No Self that wrongs, no Self that grieves
Hath longer deed nor creed nor speech.
Sleep on the mighty Mother's breast!
Sleep, and no more be separate!
Then, one with Nature's ageless rest,
There shall be no more sin to hate.
