Nocturne für Tenor, sieben Soloinstrumente und Streicher op. 60

On a poet's lips I slept (Shelley) ; Below the thunders of the upper deep (Tennyson) ; Encinctured with a twine of leaves (Coleridge) ; Midnight's bell goes ting, ting, ting (Middleton) ; But that night when on my bed I lay (Wordsworth) ; She sleeps on soft, last breaths (Owen) ; What is more gentle than a wind in summer? (Keats) ; When most I wink, then do mine eyes best see (Shakespeare)
