[De ta beauté, de tes parfums ne nous lassons.]* English singing translation: Tell me, lovely Spring, Now whom are these flowers and songs for? The white moon shining in the pool The nests are hidden in the woods [Let us not tire of your beauty and perfumes.] (The last line was not included in the edition that we were using, but the score referenced here contains the whole piece)  less

Set for SATB choir. It is a meditation on the meaning of transubstantiation. Hoc est enim corpus meum L'éternité du monde repose dans ma main la peine lourde d'amour, de rédemption est un soupir dans ma main O mon Christ Seigneur de l'infini petit pour mon confort, là dans ma main Humilité d'amour qui repose là si bas, Blanc, plein de confiance et soin dans ma main Là dans ma main repose mon Dieu. Hoc est enim corpus meum. [English original] Hoc est enim corpus meum The world's eternity lies here within my hand. The weight of pain, of love, redemption is a sigh upon my hand, My Christ, Lord of the infinite, small to my comfort in my hand. Humility of Love that tender here lies low. White, trusting, full of care within my hand. So, in my hand lies God. Hoc est enim corpus meum.  less

Er weidet mich auf grüner Aue und führet mich zum frischen Wasser. (He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; he leadeth me the quiet waters by.) Er erquicket meine Seele; (My soul he doth restore again) er führet mich auf rechter Straße um seines Namens willen. (and me to walk doth make in the paths of righteousness, even for his own Name's sake.) Und ob ich schon wanderte im finstern Tal, fürchte ich kein Unglück; (Yea, though I walk in death's dark vale, yet will I fear no ill) denn du bist bei mir, dein Stecken und dein Stab trösten mich. (For Thou art with me; and thy rod and staff my comfort still.) Du bereitest vor mir einen Tisch im Angesicht meiner Feinde....  less

Around our shadowy table placed, The spectral bowl before us floats: With wine that none but ghosts can taste, We wash our unsubstantial throats. Three merry ghosts—three merry ghosts— three merry ghosts are we: Let the ocean be port, and we’ll think it good sport To be laid in that red sea. With songs that jovial spectres chaunt, Our old refectory still we haunt. The traveller hears our midnight mirth: "O list!" he cries, "the haunted choir!" The merriest ghost that walks the earth, Is sure the ghost of a ghostly friar. Three merry ghosts—three merry ghosts— three merry ghosts are we: Let the ocean be port, and we’ll think it good sport To be laid in that red sea.  less
