This very short vocal cycle consists of two lieder in deep opposition for their content as well as their climate : the first piece (« Lebenslauf ») is an eruption of passion and energy, quickly falling in a desolate atmosphere. The second piece of the cycle (« Da wo keine Macht auf Erden ») is, on the contrary, a peaceful vision of a regained Eden. The very dense writing, both for the voice and for the piano, is the faithful reflection of Hölderlin's lyricism.
