lyrics

The Harmony of Evening

Now comes the time when trembling on its stem
Each flower diffuses fragrance like a censer;
Perfumes and sounds swirl in the evening air;
Slow melancholy waltz and dizzy languor.

Each flower diffuses fragrance like a censer;
The violin trembles like a grieving heart,
Slow melancholy waltz and dizzy languor!
The sky is spread like an altar of repose.

The violin trembles like a grieving heart,
A tender heart that hates the vast dark void!
The sky is spread like an altar of repose;
The sun is drowned in its own thickening blood.

A tender heart that hates the vast dark void
Gathers each gleaming vestige of the past;
The sun is drowned in its own thickening blood….
Your memory shines in me like a monstrance.
