Viele Fäden gleiten Zwischen mir und dir, Luftig-feine Saiten, Drauf die Wünsche schreiten Zwischen mir und dir. Und aus Hin und Wider, Wie die Fäden ziehn, Web' ich meiner Lieder [Seidenes]1 Gefieder In das Dämmer hin.

Strands
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Chosen for Diff
Strands, love's colours wearing, float from thee to me, strands, our passions sharing, heart's fond message bearing, float from me to thee. Born of soul-felt longing, as our strands we weave, all my songs come thronging soft as owlet winging through the shades of eve.
From the Wolff score.
