| Johannes Brahms: Verzicht, o Herz ( from Neue Liebeslieder Waltzes) | |
| Verzicht, o Herz, auf Rettung, | Abandon hope of rescue, O heart, |
| Dich wagend in der Liebe Meer! | when you venture on the sea of love! |
| Denn tausend Nachen schwimmen | For a thousand ships are drifting, |
| Zertrümmert am Gestad’ umher! | wrecked by the surrounding shores! |
| Johannes Brahms: Schwarzer Wald (from Neue Liebeslieder Waltzes) | |
| Schwarzer Wald, dein Schatten |
Dark forest, your shadow is so gloomy! |
| Armes Herz, dein Leiden ist so drückend! | Poor heart, your grief is so oppressive! |
| Was dir einzig wert, es steht vor Augen; | Before your eyes stands the one thing you value - |
| Ewig untersagt ist Huldvereinung. | forever forbidden is a happy union. |
| John Greer: Anecdote (from Liebesleid-Lieder, poetry of Dorothy Parker) | |
|
So silent I when Love was by |
|
| He yawned and turned away; | |
| Now Sorrow clings to my apron-strings, | |
| I have so much to say. | |
| John Greer: Unfortunate Coincidence (poetry of Dorothy Parker) | |
|
By the time you swear you’re his, |
|
| Shivering and sighing, | |
| And he vows his passion is | |
| Infinite, undying – | |
| Lady, make a note of this; | |
| One of you is lying. | |
