2. 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.

Language: German (Deutsch)
Ich [will's dir]1 nimmer sagen, Wie ich so lieb dich hab', Im Herzen will ich's tragen, Will [stumm]2 sein wie das Grab. Kein Lied [soll dir's]3 gestehen, Soll flehen um mein Glück, Du selber sollst es sehen, Du selbst -- in meinem Blick. Und [kannst]4 du es nicht lesen, Was dort so zärtlich spricht, So ist's ein Traum gewesen; Dem Träumer zürne nicht.

3. Resolution
Language: English
I shall never tell you How much I love you. I shall carry it in my heart, And shall be as [mute]1 as the grave. No song [poem] shall confess it to you, Shall plead for my happiness; You yourself must see it, You yourself [must see it] in my gaze. And if you cannot read What speaks so tenderly there, Then it was but a dream. Do not be angry with the dreamer!
