1. Now the shadows are darkening
Language: English
Now the shadows are darkening star after star is waking up: what a breath of longing is flooding through the night! Across the sea of dreams, steering ceaselessly my soul is steering towards your soul. Anything that surrenders to you is to be taken completely. Oh, you know, that I am no longer my own.
