Songs dedicated to Kurt Masur

Kurt Masur: A sleepless self-giver free

O Kurt Masur, Maestro Masur, Maestro!
Your music summit-height measureless metro.
Perfection-flower and compassion-fragrance,
Power-sun, beauty-moon music-semblance.
Sweetness-hope-heart and fulness-promise-eyes.
Your giant orchestra-soul all-where flies.
Germany’s patience-seed, world-wonder-tree;
Within, without, a sleepless self-giver free.

— Sri Chinmoy
