Zwielicht - 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.

10. Twilight
Dusk makes to spread its wings,
The trees stir awesomely,
Clouds come like heavy dreams—
What means this dusk and dread?

If you have a fawn you favour,
Let her not graze alone;
Hunters range the forest, bugling,
Voices flit here and there.

If on earth you have a friend,
Do not trust him at this hour;
Friendly both in look and speech,
In seeming peace he schemes for war.

What, today, goes weary down,
Rises new-born on the morrow.
Much in the night goes astray—
Be wary, watchful, wide-awake!
