OK, let’s dive in off the deep end - - - -

In the twilight

Through adversity and joy
We've gone hand in hand;
We rest now from our wanderings
Upon this quiet land.

Around us slope the valleys,
The skies grow dark;
Two larks alone are just climbing,
As if after a dream, into the scented air.

Come here and let them whir past,
For it will soon be time to rest;
We do not wish to get lost
In this solitude.

O wide, quiet peace,
So deep in the red dusk...
How weary we are of our travels --
Is this perhaps - Death? --

To my ears though the ultimate performance was Elizabeth Schwarzkopf’s recording. The orchestra holds together better, probably because mult-mikes weren’t used.
