Original manuscript of 9 songs on music staff paper. The musical notes are written with black felt pen and the words are typed. The words are from John Gracen Brown's book "A Sojourn of the Spirit and Passages in the Wind". Notations on title page says, "Copyright © 1990 by Carl Vollrath"Vocal, Piano26 pages; 8 1/2 x 11I: The Winter Weather
The winter weather
Has planted its silver plants
Upon the windowpane
II: The Pond
The pond Is glazed with glass
And the morning sun.
III: The Alcoholic
The internal region Pitched against itself Is unable to yield.
Like the Gordian knot Knit by a fable It binds a fate
That seems so little his
IV: The Tall, Majestic Trees
The tall, majestic trees That line the shore
Steal and lift the heart As they sway One into the other.
V: A Greater Good
I sing a song of sadness,
But the sadness has something
Of the good within it
And is of a greater good.
VI: Far Away and Above Me
Far away Over the hill The sun sets;
And above me, The small clouds Have taken on
A purple hue.
VII: Sailing
The wind cups the sails, The mast bends forward
And the boat lifts And skims along.
VIII: The Storm
The storm of meaning swells
When the large summer clouds
Roll up over the river
And the big trees begin to blow.
IX: The Soul
The soul is a soft and gentle thing
And should be treated so. |
