lyrics

Four Poems for Valeska

(2013, for baritone, violin and piano)
Poem by Bravig Imbs

I

Pines on this plain of lowering night
bend down their branches with the sun in sorrow,
the welling evening wind sweeps under them with moan
and I am washed over by the northern waves.

O lorn immensity of drowned dead stars,
to what port has the sunken sun repaired
and from what mast was this full moon released?

I cannot know but am not discontent--
I know the darkening harbor of your eyes.
