Denk Es, O Seele

From Cygnus' New Year Happening-- Frank Brickle's Denk Es, O Seele, a setting of the famous poem by Eduard Mörike, the poem that ends Mörike's novella, Mozart's Jouney to Prague. Eileen Clark is the soprano, with Oren Fader, guitar and William Anderson, mandolin. Text:

A little fir-tree flourishes,
who knows where, in the wood;
A rosebush, who can tell
in what garden?
They are selected already,
Consider, o soul,
to take root and grow
on your grave.

Two young black horses graze
on the pasture,
they return back to town
with lively leaps.
They will go step by step
with your corpse;
perhaps, perhaps even before
on their hooves
the shoe gets loose,
and I can see it sparkle.
