Mahler’s darkness is drawn forth with this poem of loss. I love the images set forth by the Sparrows, Horses, male Deer and Falcon, all of which relate to a mystery I cannot quite touch. The Falcon with blinders is tied to the horse, the black violin to the ending of life. Mahler’s music is alive in words.

so much to love about this poem, but what stands out for me is not so much what is said, but all that is left unsaid. It seems to be a poem that wrestles with silences, with pregnant pauses, with that which can not be named. This allows the poem, ironically, to go to the places where words can’t go. So much room for mystery in this poem, room for questioning and wanting and wonder. Wonderful.

Seldom is drama in music so touchable as in the songs of Mahler.
