Crane meisterte es in wenigen Zeilen. Meine Favoriten auswahl ist hier nachzulesen. A god in wrath. A learned man came to me once. Supposing that I should have the courage. A man said to the universe. A man saw a ball of gold in the sky. There was a man with tongue of wood.
There were many who went in huddled procession. If I should cast off this tattered coat.
Think as I think. In a lonely place. Well, then, I hate Thee, unrighteous picture. Be not afraid, for I, thy God, will strengthen thee. But thou, Ahab, hast done evil to provoke Him to anger above all that were before thee; as if it had been a light thing for thee to walk in the sins of Jeroboam. Thou hast made a grove and an altar to Baal, and served him and worshipped him. Thou hast killed the righteous, and also taken possession.
And the Lord shall smite all Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water; and He shall give Israel up, and thou shalt know He is the Lord. Jezebel Have ye not heard he hath prophesied against all Israel? Courtiers We heard it with our ears. Jezebel Hath he not prophesied also against the king? Jezebel And why hath he spoken in the name of the Lord? The gods do so to me, and more; if by tomorrow about this time, I make not his life as the life of one of them whom he hath sacrificed at the brook of Kishon!
Courtiers He shall perish! Jezebel Yea, by the sword he destroyed them all! Courtiers He destroyed them all! Jezebel He also closed the heavens. Courtiers He also closed the heavens. Jezebel So go ye forth and seize Elijah, for he is worthy to die; slaughter him!
The People Woe to him! He shall perish; for he closed the heavens!
And why hath he spoken in the Name of the Lord? Let the guilty prophet perish! He hath spoken falsely against our land and us, as we have heard with our ears. So go ye forth; seize on him! Obadiah Man of God, now let my words be precious in thy sight. So the mighty gather against thee, and they have prepared a net for thy steps; that they may seize thee, that they say slay thee. Arise then, and hasten for thy life; to the wilderness journey. The Lord thy God doth go with thee: He will not fail thee, He will not forsake thee.
Now begone, and bless me also. Elijah Though stricken, they have not grieved. Tarry here my servant: I journey hence to the wilderness. Elijah It is enough! O Lord, now take away my life, for I am not better than my fathers! I desire to live no longer: I have been very jealous for the Lord God of Hosts, for the children of Israel have broken Thy covenant, and thrown down Thine altars, and slain all Thy prophets, slain them with the sword.
And I, even I only am left: O Lord, now take away my life, for I am not better than my fathers. Now let me die, Lord, take away my life. Tenor See, now he sleepeth beneath a juniper tree in the wilderness, but the angels of the Lord encamp round about all them that fear Him. Angels Lift thine eyes to the mountains, whence cometh help. Thy help cometh from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth. He hath said, thy foot shall not be moved, thy keeper will never slumber.
Angels He, watching over Israel, slumbers not, nor sleeps. Shouldst thou, walking in grief, languish, He will quicken thee. An Angel Arise, Elijah, for thou hast a long journey before thee. Forty days and forty nights shalt thou go to Horeb, the mount of God. Elijah O Lord, I have labored in vain; yea, I have spent my strength for nought! O that Thou wouldst rend the heavens, that thou wouldst come down; that the mountains would flow down at Thy presence, to make Thy name known to Thine adversaries, through the wonders of Thy works!
O Lord, why hast Thou mad them to err from Thy ways and hardened their hearts that they do not fear Thee? O that I now might die! Commit thy way unto Him, and trust in Him, and fret not thyself because of evildoers. Chorus He that shall endure to the end, shall be saved. Elijah Night falleth round me, o Lord! Be Thou not far from me! Hide not Thy face, o Lord, from me, my soul is thirsting for Thee, as a thirsty land.
An Angel Arise now, get thee without, stand on the mount before the Lord: Thy face must be veiled, for He draweth near. Chorus Behold, God the Lord passed by! And a mighty wind rent the mountains around, brake in pieces the rocks, brake them before the Lord.
But yet the Lord was not in the tempest. Behold, God the Lord passed by! And the sea was upheaved, and the earth was shaken.
But yet the Lord was not in the earthquake. And after the earthquake there came a fire. But yet the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire there came a still small voice. And in that still voice onward came the Lord. Angel Above Him stood the Seraphim, and one cried to another: Now His glory hath filled all the earth.
Angels Go, return upon thy way! For the Lord yet hath left Him seven thousand in Israel, knees which have not bowed to Baal. Go, return upon thy way!
Thus the Lord commandeth. My heart is therefore glad, my glory rejoiceth; and my flesh shall also rest in hope. Elijah For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but Thy kindness shall not depart from me; neither shall the covenant of Thy peace be removed. Chorus Then did Elijah the prophet break forth like a fire; his words appeared like burning torches.
Mighty kings by him were overthrown. He stood on the mount of Sinai and heard the judgments of the future, and in Horeb its vengeance. And when the Lord would take him away to heaven, lo! Joy on their heads shall be for everlasting, and all sorrow and mourning shall flee away for ever.
The priests of Baal summon him in vain while Elijah mocks them. Let the guilty prophet perish! Tue nach des Herrn Wort! Du hast nun deine Feinde verworfen und zerschlagen! Wenn du mitten in Angst wandelst, so erquickt er dich.
Soprano Behold, God hath sent Elijah the prophet, before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord. And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children unto their fathers; lest the Lord shall come and smite the earth with a curse. Chorus But the Lord from the North hath raised one, who from the rising of the sun shall call upon His Name and come on princes. Behold, my servant and mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth! On him the spirit of God shall rest: Thus saith the Lord: O come unto Him. O hear, and your souls shall live for ever.
Chorus And then shall your light break forth as the light of morning breaketh: Thou fillest heaven with Thy glory. Es soll diese Jahre weder Tau noch Regen kommen, ich sage es denn. Willst du uns denn gar vertilgen? Die Ernte ist vergangen, der Sommer ist dahin, und uns ist keine Hilfe gekommen! Will denn der Herr nicht mehr Gott sein in Zion? Rezitativ Die Tiefe ist versieget! Die jungen Kinder heischen Brot! Und da ist niemand, der es ihnen breche! Learn more about Amazon Prime. Please try your request again later.
