Verse 1

The provided link leads to a YouTube Music page for a piece by Telemann, "Ach mein Mund, ach meine Zunge" from "Die Gekreuzigte Liebe." Unfortunately, this is a musical score and the title, while evocative, doesn't offer direct narrative elements for a pastoral reinterpretation beyond the general sentiment of praise or lament. The text itself is minimal: "Ach mein Mund, ach meine Zunge" translates to "Ah, my mouth, ah, my tongue."

To fulfill the pastoral prompt, I will draw on the *implied* themes of expression, devotion, and perhaps a contemplation of inner feelings that such a title might suggest, reframing them through the lens of nature and simple rural existence. I will use the *spirit* of the title to speak of the tongue that praises the earth, the mouth that tastes its bounty, and the inner devotion one feels in communion with the natural world, all within a pastoral setting.

(Inspired by Alexander Pope)

When Phoebus wakes, and gilds the eastern skies,
And dewy meadows catch his warming eyes,
My humble tongue, from slumber soft released,
Shall sing the praises of the rural feast.
No gilded halls, nor cities’ restless hum,
Can stir my soul, as forest breezes come.
The soaring lark, on wings of purest day,
Doth teach my voice its matin song to play.
My grateful mouth, that tastes the morning dew,
And sips the nectar from the blossoms new,
Shall bless the earth, whence all good things arise,
And find contentment under boundless skies.

The patient ox, that turns the fertile soil,
The gentle sheep, that bleat in happy toil,
The buzzing bee, that labours in the clover,
All speak of peace, the cares of life now over.
The stream that babbles o'er its pebbled bed,
Where willows weep, and mossy banks are spread,
Reflects the heavens, clear and ever bright,
A living mirror of celestial light.
My thoughts, like seeds, are sown in virgin ground,
And in God's grace, a harvest shall be found.
No artifice, no pride, no vain desire,
Can match the flame of nature's sacred fire.

Let others chase the phantom joys of fame,
And whisper secrets, breathing envy's name;
I find my solace in the whispering wood,
And feel a joy, profoundly understood.
The simple reed, that dances in the breeze,
The ancient oak, that stands among the trees,
Each plays its part in this harmonious whole,
And soothes the spirit, and restores the soul.
My tongue, once bound by worldly cares and strife,
Now finds its freedom in this peaceful life.
My mouth, no longer seeking empty praise,
Drinks deep of beauty through these tranquil days.

Upon the cross, where love's deep sacrifice Is etched in wood, a symbol standing tall, Georg Philipp Telemann, a master's wise, Has penned a work that answers heaven's call. "Die Gekreuzigte Liebe," a title grand, Of love that suffered, bled, and gave its all, Performed by voices, guided by a hand, That weaves a tapestry to enthrall. The names of singers, listed one by one, A chorus strong, with passion to impart, The Orchestra, the Ensemble, and the one, Who leads them forth, with skillful, beating heart. So let this music lift our souls above, And hear the echoes of a crucifed love.
