Susanna Phillips and Craig Terry in a live performance at Alice Tully Hall, 19 November 2009.

Auf Flügeln des Gesanges, Op. 34, No. 2
Text: Heinrich Heine (1797-1856)
Translation: Marty Lucas

On Wings of Song

On wings of song,
my love, I'll carry you away
to the fields of the Ganges
Where I know the most beautiful place.

There lies a red-flowering garden,
in the serene moonlight,
the lotus-flowers await
Their beloved sister.

The violets giggle and cherish,
and look up at the stars,
The roses tell each other secretly
Their fragant fairy-tales.

The gentle, bright gazelles,
pass and listen;
and in the distance murmurs
The waves of the holy stream.

There we will lay down,
under the palm-tree,
and drink of love and peacefulness
And dream our blessed dream
