peacefullspirit

It is usually recited in the original German to Schumann's "Widmung", op.25 no.1

You my soul, you my heart,

you my bliss, o you my pain,

you the world in which I live;

you my heaven, in which I float,

o you my grave, into which

I eternally cast my grief.

You are rest, you are peace,

you are bestowed upon me from heaven.

That you love me makes me worthy of you;

your gaze transfigures me;

you raise me lovingly above myself,

my good spirit, my better self!
