TRANSLATIONS Nell Your purple rose in your bright sun 0 June, sparkles intoxicated, Extends toward me to, your golden cup My heart is like your rose From beneath the soft shelter of the shady dough Rises a voluptuous sigh More than one dove sings in the distant forest Oh my heart, its lament amorous. How soft is your pearl in the blazing sky Star of the night pensive! But how much softer is the sharp brightness That radiates in my heart, in my heart enchanted! The singing sea, along the shore, Will cease its endless murmuring Sooner than your image, oh Nell, dear love Will cease to bloom in my heart! Apres un Riwe In a slumber charmed by your image I dreamed of happiness, ardent mirage; Your eyes were more tender, your voice pure and clear. You were radiant like a sky brightened by sunrise; You were calling me, and I left the earth To flee with you towards the light; The skies opened their clouds for us, Splendors unknown, glimpses of divine light... Alas! Alas, sad awakening from dreams! I call to you, oh night, give me back your illusions; Return, return with you radiance, Return, oh mysterious night! Serenade With such a beautiful hand that serves so many charms, that you owe, to a cunning god, maneuver well these weapons! When this child is sorrowful wipe well his tears. Difesa non ha No protection against a charming glance has the heart enamored qf sweet beauty. Should Cupid wound the heart of a king, even his' enamored breast must succumb and he must weep always and always, never finding pity for his pain. Nebbie Slowly the silent dreamy and gt· like mist is falling; Shrouding all land and sea in d;- ::>. Crying aloud from the heaver The ravens circling slowly, Traverse -the barren fields and lowlands. Trees lifting high their naked storm-tossed branches in supplication, White with the icy blasts are trembling. I too, tremble! Heart broken, with cold and fever shaken, Alone, unloved, by all forsaken. Voices of souls departed, Cry out in mourning· horror; Come saddened one so lonely, Follow! Follow! Vorschneller Schwur A young maiden pledged: 0 komme, ho/de Sommernacht Oh, come lovely summer-n ight Never to wear flowers, Never to drink wine, Never to kiss boys. Yesterday the maiden pledged, Today already she repents: If I should wear flowers, I should be muck prettier! If I should drink wine, I should be much gayer! If I kissed my sweetheart, I should feel much happier! Terry Sergeant in silence; Love has prepared you for the conquest! So many buds blossom out in secret & the violets unfold their sweet cups, Then the rose bows its head in twilight glow, Then my sweetheart will be mine too! USHERS Kelley Shanks This recital is given in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Music in Church Music. Mr. Jones is a student of Mr. David DeArmond.
