Prayers for the repose of his soul.

Nobody ever interpreted Mahler better:

Der Tambourg'sell" ("The Drummer Boy"/"The Last Goodnight")

I'm a poor drummer boy,
They bring me out of my cell,
If I had stayed a drummer boy,
I wouldn't have been thrown in prison.

O gallows, you high house,
You look so terrifying,
I won't look at you anymore,
Because I know that I belong there.

When soldiers march by,
Who are quartered somewhere else,
When they ask who I am,
[I reply:] Drummer of the Commander's Company.

Good night, you marble stone,
You mountains and little hills.
Good night, you officers,
Corporals and musketeers.

Good night! You officers,
Corporals and grenadiers,
I will cry with a loud voice,
To take leave of you all.
Good night! Good night!

More Mahler:

I am lost to the world

I am lost to the world:
With which I used to waste so much time,
It has for so long heard nothing from me,
it may very well believe that I am dead.

I am not that anxious about it,
If it believes that I am dead:
I honestly can't say a word against that,
for I truly am dead to the world.

I am dead to the world's tumult,
And I rest in a quiet realm.
I live alone in me and in my heaven,
In my love, in my song.
