Du bist die Ruh

You are harmony

and rest.

You are yearning

and its cadence.

I dedicate to you,

as to a sacred place,

full of pain and joy,

my eyes and heart.

Turn to me now

and quietly

close the doors

behind you.

Drive other sorrows

far away:

May my heart fill

with delight in you.

This vaulted dome

with your light voice

alone is filled,

Oh let it ring.
