The night (Hymn to the night, Rameau)


(16.3.22)

Oh night, come bring to earth
The calm enchantment of your mystery
The shadow that escorts you is so sweet
So sweet is the concert of your voices singing hope
So great is your power turning everything into a happy dream
Oh night, oh leave it to the earth again
The calm enchantment of your mystery
The shadow that escorts you is so sweet
Is there a beauty as beautiful as the dream?
Is there truth sweeter than hope?
(Lied von Bruno Coulais, the chorists, 2004,
according to J. Rameau, 1733)
