Dies eine kann mein Sehnen nimmer fassen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Dies [eine]1 kann mein Sehnen nimmer fassen,
daß nun von mir zu dir kein Weg mehr führe,
daß du vorübergehst an meiner Türe
in ferne, stumme, ungekannte Gassen.
Wär' es mein Wunsch, daß mir dein Bild erbleiche,
wie Sonnenglanz, von Nebeln aufgetrunken,
wie einer Landschaft frohes Bild, versunken
im glatten Spiegel abendstiller Teiche?
Der Regen fällt. Die müden Bäume triefen.
Wie welkes Laub verwehn viel Sonnenstunden.
Noch hab' ich in mein Los mich nicht gefunden
und seines Dunkels uferlose Tiefen.

Mon désir ne peut jamais comprendre ceci
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Mon désir ne peut jamais comprendre ceci :
Que maintenant de moi à toi plus aucun chemin ne mène,
Que tu passes devant ma porte
Dans des passages lointains, silencieux, inconnus.
Que ton image pâlisse pour moi,
Comme l'éclat du soleil, absorbé par la brume,
Comme une image joyeuse d'un paysage, noyé
Dans le miroir lisse d'étangs dans le calme du crépuscule.
La pluie tombe. Les arbres fatigués gouttent.
Comme des feuilles fanées, les nombreuses heures ensoleillées s'enfuient.
Avec mon sort je ne suis pas encore réconcilié
Ni avec ses profondeurs sombres et sans limite.
