Without rest, without hope?
Does living mean suffering?
Pauline Viardot L’absence / The absence
Pauline Viardot Madrid
Now, if you want to know
How I made this conquest,
It was the allure of my horse,
A compliment on her mantilla
And some vanilla bonbons
One beautiful evening of carnival

Soothed by silence sweet, caressing
Brought the wonder of God’s blessing
Very near

For the dawn is gray
And another day
Has faded the red, red moon.
Amanda Maier Den sjuka flickans sång /The song of the sick maiden
Oh, when nothing more can save you
it is better to lie in silence
under a fir tree, finally in peace
Ellen Mandel Shy one (To an isle in the water)
She carries in the dishes,
And lays them in a row.
Ellen Mandel / Gray Room
I know how furiously your heart is beating.
Jenni Pinnock / Bells in the Rain
The bright drops ring like bells of glass
Agathe Backer-Grøndahl Aftnen er stille / Evening is still
Evening is still
the hours fall
silently through eternal space
Agathe Backer-Gröndahl Selmas tankar i våren / Selma’s thoughts in springtime
What is your longing, my flowers?
Who are you waiting for?
Agathe Backer-Grøndahl Fågelns visa / The little bird’s song
And the birds still sings today
If the sweetheart came, I don’t know
And nor does the angel !

– Sing your song, sing, old woman!
The moon is rising and the sea is awakening.
