Lyrics Nuvoletta Op.25 - Samuel Barber, Cheryl Studer & John Browning
Nuvoletta
in
her
light
dress,
spunn
of
sisteen
shimmers,
Was
looking
down
on
them,
Leaning
over
the
bannistars
and
listening
all
she
childishly
could.
She
was
alone.
All
her
nubied
companions
were
asleeping
with
the
squir'ls.
She
tried
all
the
winsome
wonsome
ways
her
four
winds
had
taught
her.
She
tossed
her
sfumastelliacinous
hair
Like
la
princesse
de
la
Petite
Bretagne
And
she
rounded
her
mignons
arms
like
Missis
CornwallisWest
And
she
smiled
over
herself
like
the
image
of
The
pose
of
the
daughter
of
the
Emperour
of
Irelande
And
she
sighed
after
herself
as
were
she
Born
to
bride
with
Tristis
Tristior
Tristissimus.
But,
sweet
madonine,
She
might
fair
as
well
have
carried
her
daisy's
worth
to
Florida...
Oh,
how
it
was
duusk.
From
Vallee
Maraia
to
Grasya
plaina,
dormimust
echo!
Ah
dew!
Ah
dew!
It
was
so
duusk
that
the
tears
of
night
began
to
fall,
First
by
ones
and
twos,
Then
by
threes
and
fours,
at
last
by
fives
and
sixes
of
sevens,
For
the
tired
ones
were
wecking;
as
we
weep
now
with
them.
O!
O!
O!
Par
la
pluie
Then
Nuvoletta
reflected
for
the
last
time
in
her
little
long
life
And
she
made
up
all
her
myriads
of
drifting
minds
in
one.
She
cancelled
all
her
engauzements.
She
climbed
over
the
bannistars;
She
gave
a
childy
cloudy
cry:
Nuée!
Nuée!
A
light
dress
fluttered.
She
was
gone.
