Wie soll ich meine Seele halten, daß
Language: German (Deutsch)
Wie soll ich meine Seele halten, daß sie nicht an deine rührt? Wie soll ich sie hinheben über dich zu andern Dingen? Ach gerne möcht ich sie bei irgendwas Verlorenem im Dunkel unterbringen an einer fremden stillen Stelle, die nicht weiterschwingt, wenn deine Tiefen schwingen. Doch alles, was uns anrührt, dich und mich, nimmt uns zusammen wie ein Bogenstrich, der aus zwei Saiten eine Stimme zieht. Auf welches Instrument sind wir gespannt? Und welcher [Geiger]1 hat uns in der Hand? O süßes Lied.
W. Hiller sets stanza 2

Love song
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
How shall I hold my soul, that It does not touch on yours? How shall I lift it Beyond you to other things? Ah, gladly would I shelter it with something Lost in the dark. At a strange quiet place which Does not co-vibrate when your depths resonate. But everything that touches us, you and me, Takes us togther like one draw of a bow Which pulls one voice from two strings. On which instrument are we strung? And what player has us in his hand? O sweet song.
