Genius Loci, for guitar and mandolin, by Frank Brickle;
Denk Es, O Seele, for soprano, guitar and mandolin, by Frank Brickle

Denk Es, O Seele (also known by the opening line, Ein Tännlein grünet) is
the poem that ends Eduard Mörike's famous novella, Mozart's Journey to
Prague. The poem alludes to Mozart's short, short life.

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.
