Songs of the SoulOn a dark night, Inflamed by love-longing -O exquisite risk! -Undetected I slipped away. My house, at last, grown still. Secure in the darkness, I climbed the secret ladder in disguise -O exquisite risk! -Concealed by the darkness. My house, at last, grown still. That sweet night: a secret. Nobody saw me; I did not see a thing. No other light, no other guide Than the one burning in my heart. This light led the way More clearly than the risen sun To where he was waiting for me- The one I knew so intimately -In a place where no one could find us. O night, that guided me! O night, sweeter than sunrise! O night, that joined lover with Beloved! Lover transformed in Beloved! Upon my blossoming breast, Which I cultivated just for him, He drifted into sleep, And while I caressed him, A cedar breeze touched the air. Wind blew down from the tower, Parting the locks of his hair. With his gentle hand He wounded my neck And all my senses were suspended. I lost myself. Forgot myself. I lay my face against the Beloved's face. Everything fell away and I left myself behind, Abandoning my cares Among the lilies, forgotten. Anonymous

“Songs of the Soul” is an amazing, beautiful song that describes the moment you find true love. "On a dark night, inflamed by love-longing -O exquisite risk! -Undetected I slipped away. My house, at last, grown still. Secure in the darkness, I climbed the secret ladder in disguise - O exquisite risk! -Concealed by the darkness.

My house, at last, grown still." The song truly captures the moment when you leave your old self behind and stop thinking about yourself. When you are in love, it truly makes you forget about yourself and think only of your partner. The lyrics tell a story of a lover who is so consumed with desire to meet his lover again but has to wait until night falls before he can make his escape.

It is a beautiful story of love and romance.
