to what player did we sing our interrupted song?

How shall I hold my soul that it 
does not touch yours? How shall I lift 
it over you to other things? 
If it would only sink below 
into the dark like some lost thing 
or slumber in some quiet place 
which did not echo your soft heart's beat. 
But all that ever touched us—you and me— 
touched us together 
                                 like a bow 
that from two strings could draw one voice. 
On what instrument were we strung? 
And to what player did we sing 
our interrupted song?
