lyrics

Floryan nachdenklich
Words based on ”Floryan nachdenklich“ by Katherine Mansfield

Floryan sits in a black chintz chair,
An Indian curtain behind his head
Blue and brown and white and red.
Floryan sits quite still – quite still.
There is a noise like a rising tide
Of wind and rain in the black outside.
But the firelight leaps on Floryan’s wall
and the Indian curtain suddenly seams
To stir and shake with a thousand dreams.

And the great tree grows and moves
Through the silent room, the rising tide
Of wind and rain on the black outside.

The Indian flowers drink the fire
As though it were sun, and the Indian leaves
Patter and sway to an echo breeze.
On the great brown bows of the Indian tree
Little birds sing and preen their wings.
They flash through the sun like jewel rings.

And the great tree grows and moves
Through the silent room, the rising tide
Of wind and rain on the black outside
Fades – and Floryan stirs
And lifts his eyes and weeps to see
The flowers of the Indian tree.
