The tireless sun that reveals everything
I hate the shimmering heat of the south
The grassless cliffs, which stretch spiritlessly
Give me the threatening colours of the north
The dripping silence of the snowless night
Give me the fearful lights of the morning
The rustle of the dunes, the storm that laughs loudly
Give me the rattling breath of the cold
The seamless strings of rain at sea
Give me the fog that distorts everything
The deep black nights and clouds like tar
...
From Baltic Sea Song
Hildegard Knef
