Sätze • «On a poet’s lips I slept.» Very slow and soft
• «Below the thunders of the upper deep.» Majestic
• «Encinctured with a twine of leaves.» Slow waltz
• «Midnight’s bell goes ting, ting, ting.» As the start
• «But that night when on my bed I lay.» Steady march
• «She sleeps on soft, last breaths.» Slow and regular
• «What is more gentle than a wind in summer?» Quick
• «When most I wink, then do mine eyes best see.» Slow
