Quick Biography for Therese Malten:

Therese Malten was the stage name of Therese Müller (June 21, 1855 – January 2, 1930), a noted German dramatic soprano.

She was born at Insterburg, studied with Gustav Engel in Berlin, and made her début in 1873 in Dresden as Pamina in The Magic Flute. In 1882 Richard Wagner selected her as the original Kundry in Parsifal. From that time on till her retirement in 1903 she remained a member of the Dresden Opera, with frequent leaves of absence for appearances in the principal European opera houses such as the Semperoper.

Her repertory included all the great operas, but she was pre-eminent as an interpreter of Wagner’s heroines.

Being There

Being There
  by: Unknown

I never carved your name in stone
Or chipped initials in the bark
Of oaks to show the world I care
I prove my love by being there

When tears of sadness fill your eyes
When others cast harsh words like stones
That sting and cut though they’re untrue
I’m there to catch those stones for you

When people turn their backs and hide
When deaf ears meet your cries for help
For someone who can understand
I’m there to lend a helping hand

When all the world becomes too much
When everything is going wrong
And darkness spirals down to night
I’m there to guide you back to light

I never carved your name in stone
Or chipped initials in the bark
But if you took my chest apart
Your name is there I cross my heart
