A poignantly beautiful portrayal of Mary's feelings as she watches her son Jesus die on the cross. Deeply personal, Dvořák's empathetic setting of this sorrowful poem was intimately bound up with the tragic loss of his own young children, yet ends with a radiant vision of paradise in the final movement.
