I’ll fear not what men say, I’ll labor night and day To be a pilgrim. </poem> Victoria"

"stay beautiful forever, but man cannot live for even a hundred years."" At the end of ""Der Abschied,"" however, Mahler adds three original lines which repeat this, but purposefully omit the part saying that ""man must die"". Conductor and composer Leonard Bernstein asserts that this ties in with the Eastern idea of Nirvana, in that the ""soul"" of the singer, as she or he dies, becomes one with the everlasting earth. The last movement is very difficult to conduct because of its cadenza-like writing for voice and solo instruments, which often flows over the barlines. Mahler specifically instructed the movement"
