Mondnacht - Schumann

Benjamin Boster (Masters recital), October 9, 2009 performing Robert Schumann's (Eichendorff) Liederkreis op., 39 at Brigham Young University in the Madsen Recital Hall with Jill Winters.

5. Moonlit Night
It was as though the sky
Had softly kissed the earth,
So that she, in a gleam of blossom,
Had only to dream of him.

The breeze ran through the fields,
The ears of corn gently swayed,
The woods rustled faintly,
The night was so starry and clear.

And my soul spread
wide its wings,
Flew over the silent land,
As if it were flying home.
