2 Love Song Ho can I keep my soul in me, so that it doesn t touch your soul Ho can I raise it high enough, past you, to other things I ould like to shelter it, among remote lost objects, in some dark and silent place that doesn t resonate hen your depths resound. Yet everything that touches us, me and you, takes us together like a violin s bo, hich dras one voice out of to separate strings. Upon hat instrument are e to spanned And hat musician holds us in his hand Oh seetest song. ~ Rainer Maria Rilke ( ) Translator Unknon Note: The translation of this poem as chosen by my husband and I three years ago to be read at our edding. Setting it to music as a happy and surprising endeavor. I had no idea it ould be a dance! Maybe it s the time of year and all the joyful singing ~ but this text manifested itself into a little dance, hich I am sure ill be fun to sing and play. I plan to expand this song into a set of songs, or dances, for baritone and piano, hen I have the opportunity. ~Jocelyn Hagen December 2, 2009
