Diraiton - "So They Say"

This is a beautiful piece of music, by a French composer Rainer Maria Rilke about roses.
Abandon entoure d'abandon, tendresse touchant aux tendresses.
C'est ton interieur qui sans cesse se caresse,
dirait, diraiton.
Se caresse en soimeme,
par son propre reflet eclaire.
Ainsi tu inventes le theme du Narcisse exauce.

The translation of the song describes the beauty of a rose,
Abandon surrounding abandon
Tenderness touching tenderness
Your oneness endlessly carreses itself so they say
Self carresing through its own clear reflection
and thus you invent the theme of Narcisse fulfilled

The composer of the actual music is indeed Morten Johannes Lauridsen; Rilke only wrote the text! ;)
