Night song
Heinrich August Marschner
So near, so far,
so deep, so bright,
open up you stars,
the very source of life.
His eyes close,
his soul awakes,
and he sends a prayer
out into the universe of night.
The swarming lights glow
and swirl through the air,
and earth and heaven
blaze in prayer.
Was it the resonance of the song?
Was it the night's sacred peace?
In the leaves a murmured chant sounds,
Maisuna's name in light was heard.
