I guess since winter insists on sticking around for awhile, we might as well bunker down with a cozy blanket, a warm beverage, and a delightlfully dreamy Strauss song. If Strauss is Renee Fleming's desert island composer, then her rendition of Winterweihe is my snow-capped moutain song. Winter be damned! You are no match for this heart-warming Winter Dedication!
Winterweihe (Winter Dedication)
In these days of winter,
now the light is veiled,
let us uphold in our hearts,
and confide to each other,
that which fills us with inward light.
That which kindles gentle ardour
shall burn for ever,
let that which tenderly binds souls,
builds bridges of the spirit,
be our quiet watchword.
The wheel of time may roll,
we scarecely catch hold of it,
lost to the world's illusions,
we would, on our island,
dedicate day and night to blissful love.
