Denn es gehet dem Menschen wie dem Vieh
Music: Johannes Brahms (1833–1897) · Words: Martin Luther (1483–1586)
Denn es gehet dem Menschen wie dem Vieh,
wie dies stirbt,
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (3:28) and stops after the last: the piano and the words come from the score, so a key change or a slower tempo changes no sound file.
The microphone is asked for only when you press its button. What it hears is measured and scored on this device and never leaves it; nothing is kept unless you record and save the file yourself. What is kept, and where.
The words
Denn es gehet dem Menschen wie dem Vieh,
wie dies stirbt,
so stirbt
er auch, wie dies stirbt,
so stirbt
er auch;
und haben alle einerlei Odem,
und haben alle einerlei Odem;
und der Mensch hat nichts mehr denn das Vieh:
denn es ist alles eitel, denn es ist alles
eitel.
Es fährt alles an einen Ort; es ist alles von
Staub gemacht, und wird wieder zu Staub.
Wer weiss, ob der Geist des Menschen aufwärts
fahre, aufwärts fahre, aufwärts fahre,
und der Odem des Viehes unterwärts unter
die Erde, unterwärts unter die Erde fahre?
Darum sahe ich, dass nichts bessers ist,
denn dass der Mensch fröhlich sei in seiner
Arbeit,
denn das ist sein Teil.
Denn wer will ihn dahin bringen,
dass er sehe, was nach ihm geschehen wird?
was nach ihm geschehen wird?
