How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
When the sun has gone to rest,
When he sinks down in the west,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Then the traveler in the dark,
Thanks you for your tiny spark,
How could he see where to go,
If you did not twinkle so.
In the dark blue sky you keep,
Often through my curtains peep,
For you never shut your eye,
‘Till the sun is in the sky

No full textEngraved score on vellum music score paper for soprano, alto, tenor, and bass.Vocal, Piano8 pages; 6 3/4 x 10 3/4Cold was the air that night
When my Lord was to be born,
Dark was the sky above
When my lord was to be born,
One bright star, gleamed thru darkness
Gleamed and revealed the sight
Where my Lord was to be born.
Tell me, Tell me again
Tell me, Tell me once more
How the shepherds and wise men came
Bringing gifts and treasures to my Lord.
Tell me, Tell me again
Tell me once more
How they knew it was He,
He who would win my heart on that cold starry night.
Cold was the air that night
When my Lord was to be born

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

Notation at the bottom of the title page says, "Copyright © 1999 by Carl Vollrath".Vocal, Piano6 pages; 8 1/2 x 11The peace moves Over the lake again, again and again, Evening's peace gives that same feeling of long ago that same repose. And the rich, floating colors of the sun float and follow to the sun. It is so delicate this silent lake this piece of earth's light reflecting and casting up its peace at the eve of day. The peace is joy of another world coming into being one so far far away. The eye goes to the distant sky, dances within, but wants to return to the water again and again and again. The pink roses The pink roses The pink roses Bloom On the white fence
