SCHIRMER BOSTON ; THE BOSTON MUSIC Co.NENIA Even Beauty must perish: though mortals and gods it have vanquished, Not the fast-steeléd heart it moves of the Stygian Zeus. Only once, at the pleading of Eros, the Ruler of Hades relented ; Ruthless, e’en then, he recalled from the threshold of freedom his boon. No balm Aphrodite could bring to the fair boy, sore wounded, There where his tender flesh, fierce and cruel, the wild boar had torn; Nor the mother immortal give life to her god-like hero When at the gates of Troy falling, his fate he fulfilled, But she doth rise from the sea, with all the daughters of Nereus, And lifting her voice in lament, mourns for her glori- fied son. See how they weep, the Immortals, see the goddesses all, they are weeping For that Beauty must fade, that the Perfect must die! To be even a song of lament on the lips of the loved one, is glory; For know, ‘tis the common lot to go down to Orkus unsung ! NANIE (Schitter) Auch das Schéne muss sterben! Das Menschen und Gatter bezwinget, Nicht die cherne Brust rithrt es des stygischen Zeus. Einmal nur erweichte die Liebe den Schattenbe- herrscher, Und an der Schwelle noch, streng, rief er zuriick sein Geschenk. Nicht stilit Aphrodite dem schénen Knaben die Wunde Die in den zierlichen Leib grausam der Eber geritzt. Nicht errettet den géttlichen Held die unsterbliche Mutter, Wenn er, am skaischen Thor fallend, sein Schicksal erfiillt. Aber sie steigt aus dem Meer mit allen Téchtern des Nereus, Und die Klage hebt an um den verherrlichten Sohn. Siche, es weinen die Gétter, es weinen die Géttinen alle, Dass das Schéne vergeht, dass das Volkommene stirbt. Auch ein Klaglied zu sein im Mund der Geliebten, ist herrlich, Denn das Gemeine geht klanglos zum Orkus hinab.1 G.S. 8¥9 Choruses Price NO 5602 35 cents net Nanie Schiller) English version by Alma Strettell Andante ( Joh.
