Engl. Trans  Cornelius  Requiem
(Seele, vergiß sie nicht)

Soul, O, forget them not,
Never forget the departed!

See they are hovering
near to the living!
And in the heavenly radiance,
That the glow of our love imparts,
Breathe again and rewarm them,
And enjoy for a final time
their low flickering being.

Soul, O, forget them not,
Never forget the departed!

And when thou forgettest
to heed them, then they shrink
benumbed to their innermost being.
They are caught in the storm of night,
Which they together resist
With the strength of the love we give them.
It pursues them with violence
Through the endless and darkened waste, there where nothing exists,
save forces,
wild whirring forces of chaos,
Only these and no more.

Soul, O, forget them not,
Never forget the departed!
(Übers.: B. Shapleigh)
