But maybe you have felt   
As if you have been drowned? 
Or even you have whispered   
Of love the heart-bound sound? 

I guess you haven't kissed   
One's ethereal soul   
Nor have you ever missed   
Somebody's ghostly call   

I know you've never heard   
Nor have you ever spread   
I gather what you've felt   
Is not what you have whispered 

I dare not think aloud   
You waste so dear a gift   
I doubt that you've found   
I wonder if you've lived?
