Future day

Anton von Webern

That's who you are child, that friend.

In you I see the god

Which I trembled to recognise

As the answer to my prayers.

You came on the final day

When waiting for you

And praying had made me tired

And I was lost in darkness.

You announced yourself in that glow

Which streamed into my darkness.

Your arrival made the seed

Blossom instantly.
