Gentle sounds of the soul

Gentle sounds of the soul, inspired by the breath of love,

blow tremblingly forth, if you open an ear,

open a loving heart; and if none opens to you,

let the night wind carry you sighing back to me.

Are they resting? the horn of the watchman calls from the west,

and from the east the horn calls a reply: they rest.

Do you hear, apprehensive heart, the whispering voices of angels?

Extinguish the lamp confidently, and cover yourself in peace.
