¶Liedtext

Text from poems by "Ossian" ((James Macpherson (1736-1796)) '''From "Temora", Book II''' FATHER of heroes! … High dweller of eddying winds! where the dark-red thunder marks the troubled clouds! Open thou thy stormy halls. Let the bards of old be near. '''From “Berrathon”''' We sit, at the rock, and there is no voice; no light but the meteor of fire! Oh! from the rock on the hill, from the top of the windy steep, speak, ye ghosts of the dead! Speak … Whither are ye gone to rest? In what cave of the hill shall I find the departed? No feeble voice is on the gale: no answer half-drowned in the storm! Thy people bend before thee. Thou turnest the battle in the field of the brave … Thy tempests are before my thy face. But thy my dwelling is calm, above the clouds; the fields of thy rest are pleasant.
