Seht, wie Tod bereite Schale hebt
Einer doch wandelt...

Nacht
Frühling Eine Trilogie - I. Elegie
A hushed, dream‑like voice guides the listener through a night‑filled landscape of winter, restless horses, and trembling prayer. The narrator’s fragmented verses echo a struggle between yearning and restraint, as each image of snow‑capped hills, lunar light and frayed prayer becomes a mirror for inner conflict. In the opening act, the poet‑speaker wrestles with the weight of existence, confronting an unforgiving darkness that seems to press the very earth beneath his hooves.
The language is vivid and lyrical, blending the starkness of war‑time February 1917 with an almost ritualistic chant that feels both personal and timeless. Listeners are drawn into a reverie where the boundary between body and spirit blurs, inviting contemplation on mortality, redemption and the relentless search for meaning. The first hour offers an intense, atmospheric immersion that sets a haunting tone for the rest of the journey.
