Where is it that our soul doth go?

Available translation(s): FRE

One thing I'd know,
When we have perished,
Where is it that our soul doth go?
Where, where is the fire, that is extinguished?
Where is the wind?
Where is the wind but now did blow?
Where is it? Where is it?
Where is it that our soul doth go?
When we have perished.

Note: based on the third stanza of the Heine.
