Die Lotosblume Op.25 No.7

From Schumann's Myrten Op.25 (Live recording) Poetry by Heinrich Heine Andrew Goodwin - Tenor Daniel de Borah - Piano The Lotus flower fears before the suns splendour, and with drooping head she dreamily awaits the night. The moon, he is her lover. He wakes her with his light and to him she happily unveils her devoted flower-face. She blooms and glows and shines and stares mute in the heavens. She exhales and weeps and trembles with love and love's pain.
