Ich will meine Seele tauchen

Ich will meine Seele tauchen
In den Kelch der Lilie hinein;
Die Lilie soll klingend hauchen
Ein Lied von der Liebsten mein.

Das Lied soll schauern und beben
Wie der Kuß von ihrem Mund,
Den sie mir einst gegeben
In wunderbar süßer Stund'.

by Heinrich Heine (1797-1856) , no title, from Buch der Lieder, in Lyrisches Intermezzo, no. 7

So deep will I plunge my spirit

So deep will I plunge my spirit   
In the lily's chalice white, 
The lily shall murmur, sighing, 
A song of my Heart's Delight. 
 
That song shall quiver and tremble
Timidly as the kiss
That once from her mouth she gave me
In a wonderful hour of bliss.

by John Todhunter (1839-1916) , from Heine's Book of Songs, published 1907
