Rainbow at Night - Antonio Machado
The train moves through the Guadarrama
one night on the way to Madrid.
The moon and the fog create
high up a rainbow.

music of afrika’s creation
melodies and rhythms
whispering in the wilderness;
you will hear voices in the wilderness
sounds of hunters going after the hunted
music of afrika’s creation
melodies and rhythms
whispering in the wilderness;

Funere mersit acerbo - Giosuè Carducci
O thou who on yon flowery hill art lying,
And by thy side our father too is sleeping,
Dost thou not hear, through the tall grasses sighing
Upon thy grave, a little voice of weeping?

Dost thou not hear, through the tall grasses sighing
Upon thy grave, a little voice of weeping?

Tell it far and near;

Jesus will soon appear.

Silence - Hermann von Gilm zu Rosenegg
When in heaven, bolts are ready
And the lightning clouds are gathered,
Walkers then are striding quickly
And to nests the birds are flying,
Comes the silence.
And the lightning clouds are gathered,
Walkers then are striding quickly
And to nests the birds are flying,
Comes the silence.
