Die Braut
The Bride
A shadow flits unnoticed
through the royal gardens
passes the gate unharmed
then becomes one with the night.
The King’s son who yearns for her
hurries to his sweetheart
who is teaching him the art of love
that makes him so happy
With every day he loves her more
and keeps the secret
of the daily revisit
the source of his desire
Yet she breaks down in floods of tears
and already suspects the ruin
of the new life that she
carries heavily under her bosom
“You shall be my bride
golden as the sunshine
as I once saw you
a creature near to heaven!
You shall be my bride
golden as the sunshine
and we’ll fly away from here!”
“In velvet and silk you shall go
I will take you as my bride
My father will grant my plea”
he said and hurried away.
The King heard what had happened
and loudly pours scorn.
He punishes his son for the crime
and immediately locks him up.
The King’s executioner is creeping around
in the icy breath of night.
When he reaches the fair damsel
she is no longer awake
she is no longer awake…
