Catherine Robbin sings Schumann’s Mondnacht
“It was as if the heavens
Had silently kissed the earth,
So that in a shower of blossoms
She must only dream of him.
The breeze wafted through the fields,
The ears of corn waved gently,
The forests rustled faintly,
How starry was the night.
And my soul spread
Far its wings
And sailed o’er the hushed lands
As if gliding homeward.”
