"Tetti innevati" (1878), olio su tela, 64 x 82 cm, del pittore Gustave Caillebotte (Musee d'Orsay, Parigi)


TESTO DEL LIED

"Night"
di Adelaide Crapsey (1878-1914)

I have minded me
Of the noon-day brightness,
And the cricket's drowsy
Singing in the sunshine. .
I have minded me
Of the slim marsh-grasses
That the winds at twilight,
Dying, scarcely ripple. .
And I cannot sleep.
I have minded me
Of a lily-pond,
Where the waters sway
All the moonlit leaves
And the curled long stems. .
And I cannot sleep.
