Description on Youtube:
Laura Strickling, Soprano Joy Schreier, Piano Recorded December 11, 2013 The Lazy Moon In a ray of twilight the dragonfly falls asleep. The nightingale is already asleep on the branch of a friendly oak tree. The grass is full of fireflies, the sky is crazy with stars, and yet the shining moon allows the night it’s shadows. Softly, Moon, you rest beneath the pink clouds. Oh! Lazy one, why do you play with my tender emotions? Always veiled at the gentle hour, when, gliding over the moss the crickets sing less strongly, you still do not rise! Arise! Brilliant and serene, come brighten the plain! Silver moon, moon with the white face, illuminate my trembling arms! With your pure light brush the gold of my hair, For soon my fiancé will pass upon the road!
