by Sara Teasdale (1884 - 1933)

Language: English 
Until I lose my soul and lie
  Blind to the beauty of the earth,
Deaf tho' a lyric wind goes by,
  Dumb in a storm of mirth;

Until my heart is quenched at length
  And I have left the land of men,
Oh, let me love with all my strength
  Careless if I am loved again.

Composition:

    Set to music by Gary Bachlund (b. 1947), "Let me love", 2013 [ mezzo-soprano and piano ], note: a different setting from the one in German
