All Hans Werner Henze Lyrics (en) Total 3
Hans Werner Henze - Lay Your Sleeping Head, My LoveLay your sleeping head, my love Human on my faithless arm; Time and fevers burn away Individual beauty from Thoughtful children, and the grave Proves the child ephemeral:
Hans Werner Henze - RimbaudThe nights, the railway-arches, the bad sky His horrible companions did not know it; But in that child the rhetorician's lie Burst like a pipe: the cold had made a poet
Hans Werner Henze - Whispers From Heavenly DeathDarest thou now O Soul Walk out with me toward the Unknown Region Where neither ground is for the feet Nor any path to follow? No map there, nor guide Nor voice
