[edit] Klopstock ode

Hello classical music Wikipedians. I'm new here, and am just curious how this works. I would like to add the original Klopstock ode that is used in this symphony and a translation, but I have no idea about checking copyrights on text. It's rather old, so I would think that it would be in the public domain, but I can't be sure. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Thanks in advance. Logank 19:44, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Definitely public domain now, as Klopstock died in 1803.

Die Auferstehung

Auferstehn, ja, auferstehn wirst du,
Mein Staub, nach kurzer Ruh'.
Unsterblichs Leben
Wird, der dich schuf, dir geben.
Halleluja!

Wieder aufzublühn werd' ich gesät.
Der Herr der Ernte geht
Und sammelt Garben
Uns ein, uns ein, die starben.
Halleluja!

Tag des Danks, der Freudentränen Tag,
Du meines Gottes Tag!
Wenn ich im Grabe
Genug geschlummert habe,
Erweckst du mich.

Wie den Träumenden wird's dann uns sein.
Mit Jesu gehn wir ein
Zu seinen Freuden.
Der müden Pilger Leiden
Sind dann nicht mehr.

Ach, ins Allerheiligste führt mich
Mein Mittler dann, lebt' ich
Im Heiligtume
Zu seines Namens Ruhme.
Halleluja!

[edit] Sources

This article uses a number of descriptive terms, particularly for the fifth movement, that it seems to suggest are Mahler's. We need sources for this. Anyone know where it might be from? Heimstern Läufer (talk) 06:40, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
