Analysis of The Deep Song
Georg Trakl 1887 (Salzburg) – 1914 (Kraków)
From deep night I was released.
My soul is astonished in immortality,
My soul listens over space and time
To the melody of eternity!
Not day and lust, not night and suffering
Is the melody of eternity,
And since I listened to eternity,
I feel no more lust and suffering!
