Zarathustra's roundelay

"Zarathustra's roundelay" (German: Zarathustra's Rundgesang), also called the "Midnight Song" (Mitternachts-Lied) or "Once More" (German: Noch ein Mal), is a poem in the book Thus Spoke Zarathustra (1883–1885) by Friedrich Nietzsche.

The poem first appears in Thus Spoke Zarathustra's chapter "The Second Dance-Song", then reappears in a later chapter, "The Drunken Song".

The poem was used by Gustav Mahler as the text of the 4th movement of his Symphony No 3.
