I am willing to brave the rain and snow,
I am willing to brave the cold wind,
Through the canyon
The fog in the canyon goes straight
Go forward! Go forward!
Never stop!
I I am willing to do my own thing
I will be troubled by myself,
give up a lot of enjoyment

While reciting the poem, I deepened the ink mark with a pen. Eighteen years later, on August 27, 1831, Goethe's 72nd birthday (also his last birthday in his lifetime)
On the eve of the eve, I climbed Mount Kikerhan again and recited the old poems written on the wall, which aroused infinite emotion. I couldn't help but murmured to myself: "It will take a while." , you have to go and have a rest." He sighed
before wiping his tears and slowly left the villa and went down the mountain.

Composers Zelt, Lu Wei, Austrian composer Schubert

All the treetops had stopped swinging
Little birds were perching silently in the forest,
< p>Stay for a while, stay for a while, and you have to go and have a rest.Schubert uses soft and slow
lyrical strokes and simple and plain section structure in this song to express
the quiet and tranquil realm of poetry. The repetition of the last phrase makes people feel the lingering sound and endless charm.
Comes from cultivated land in the mountains.
I saw a group of handsome young people beside the Bodhi tree.
I convinced them.
The shy young man,
the restrained little girl,
all danced with me.
I play interesting games with you,
Colorful flowers bloom on the shore,
My mother sews gold clothes for you. "
"
Father, Father, do you hear,
The devil is speaking to me softly?"
"
Be quiet, don't be nervous, my son,
it's the wind rustling the dead leaves. "
((The Son of the God of Poetry" (Op.92no, 1D.764)

"The Devil}) (Op.1D.328).
The lyrics are Goethe's narrative poems. In April 1781,
Goethe heard a rumor at the Pole Tree Hotel in Thuringia
A few nights ago, a farmer from the village of Kunitz hugged him
I rode a bird to Jena with my sick child, hoping to ask a famous
physician to diagnose and treat the disease, but the doctor was at a loss
to do anything about the disease. The father had no choice but to rush home with the child in his arms.
The child had died in his arms before he got home.
When Goethe heard this rumor and wrote the narrative poem "The Devil"
, he was obviously inspired by the German poet Herder's "The Devil" which he adapted from the Danish folk song.
The influence of the poem "My Daughter" is not only the content of the poem inspired by Herder, but also the proposition and wording of the poem are obviously borrowed from "The Devil" p>
The poem "The King's Daughter":
Who is still riding a horse when the wind is strong at night?
It is the father who takes the child home
He hugged the child and placed him in his arms,
holding him tightly to prevent him from getting cold.
"
I like you, you are very beautiful,
If you are unwilling, I will snatch you away."
"Father, father, hug me quickly,
The devil snatches me away and makes me suffer!"
The father was so frightened that he galloped on his horse,
Hold the moaning child tightly in my arms,
When I returned home, exhausted,
the child in my arms had died.
Singing about the beauty in the distance,
Although the ground is frozen,
The winter flowers bloom beautifully!
Although the flowers will wither,
But a new happy event is ushering in,
"
My son, why are you so panicked?"
"Father, you Have you ever seen the devil?
He is wearing a robe and looks majestic."
My son, that is a fog."
"You, little baby, come with me!
The original poem is divided into eight stanzas, each stanza has four lines. Schubert's narrative song is also divided into eight stanzas, according to the universal score The principle of singing is to sing a different song in each verse (first and last verses) (verse 1 and
verse 8> Use the third person to narrate the story and the second verse is
The dialogue between the father and the child; the third section is the devil's temptation
the child's sweet words; the fourth section is the dialogue between the child and the father
; the fifth section is the devil's further ingenuity The sixth section of the flattering words of the tongue is another dialogue between the child and the father.
The seventh section is the final threatening words of the devil.
Each. One section uses tunes of different natures and homophones to compose third-person narrative verses and dialogues between different characters. The child exclaims "Father" three times.
The key is raised by a semitone each time, causing the child's pain and panic
to reach a climax step by step. The whole song is filled with the sound of horse hooves from beginning to end.
The accompaniment pattern finally stops, and the third person recitative sings "The child in the arms has just died".
