Yet soars a voice above it --
Love is holy and strong;
The best of us forever
Escapes in Love and Song.




Song is so old. [Hermann Hagedorn]



Song is so old,
Love is so new --
Let me be still
And kneel to you.

Let me be still
And breathe no word,
Save what my warm blood
Sings unheard.

Let my warm blood
Sing low of you --
Song is so fair,
Love is so new!
