Ceremonial Funeral – Non-Denominational – My heart is embraced in peace, is oblivious to the world, no longing and desire!
Prayer and Meditation
The moonlight streams from star-strewn space to the motionless earth, which wearily hardly breathes. As if intoxicated with sleep, the linden trees around are silent, tired of the rustling, they bend down, heavy with blossoms. Only sometimes, dreamily quietly, does a song rustle on the treetops, when a cool night breeze drifts eerily through the branches.
My heart is embraced in peace, is oblivious to the world, no longing and desire wants to move my breast. Only sometimes, dreamily softly, does the old pain, like a night wind through the branches, pervade the tiredly beloved heart.
Ceremonial Funeral - Funeral Orator
So sleep now you little one! what are you crying Soft is the moonlight, and sweet is the rest. Sleep also comes quicker, and without effort: the moon is happy about the children and loves them. It is true that he loves boys too, but girls more, and when they suckle he gently pours out beautiful gifts on them from above; Give them blue eyes and blond hair. He is old as a raven, sees many a country; My father knew him when he was a boy.
And soon after her weeks, mother once spoke to him about me: She was sitting in the valley one evening, her breasts bare, I lay open-mouthed in her lap. She looked at me, a tear ran for joy, the moon shone on us both, I lay and slept; Then she spoke! "Moon, oh! Seems I love her, Seems happiness for my little one!' Her eyes stayed glued to the moon for a long time and begged for more. The moon began to tremble as if hearing.
And now I keep thinking of that look, and sheer happiness shines down on me from above. He seemed to me under the wreath in the bridal face, and at the dance of honor; you haven't been yet All the best on the final journey and rest in peace!
