New Generation Artist Olena Tokar sings Schumann

Soprano and New Generation Artist Olena Tokar sings Schumann's Die Blume Der Ergebung, op. 82 no. 2, with Igor Gryshyn at the piano

I am the flower in the garden,
And I must wait in silence
[To discover] when and in what manner
You shall approach me

If you come as a sunbeam,
I shall quietly open my heart
To the delight you bring,
And I shall cherish your glance.

If you come as dew and rain,
I shall gather your blessings
In chalices of love,
And shall not let it ebb away.

And if you gently waft
Over me in the breeze,
I shall bow down before you,
Saying: I am thine own.
