War das nicht ein Blick der Liebe
Language: German (Deutsch)
War das nicht ein Blick der Liebe,
Der aus ihrem Auge sprach?
Sah es nicht bethränt und trübe
Mir mit stiller Sehnsucht nach?
Ja, bey Gott! Sie muß es wissen,
Daß ich so verwundet bin;
Muß, von Mitleid hingerissen,
Auch für mich im Stillen glühn! --
O ihr Liebesengel, rühret
Euch das Flehn des Leidenden,
O so steigt herab, und führet
Mich zu meiner Heiligen!
Daß ich ihr zu Füßen sinke,
Meine Leiden ihr gesteh,
Und durch Einen ihrer Winke
Mich zu euch erhoben seh!

Was it not a glance of love
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Was it not a glance of love
That spoke from out her eye?
Did it not, full of tears and drearily,
Gaze after me in silent longing?
Yes, by God! She must know
That I am so wounded;
Must, carried away by sympathy,
Also feel fervently for me in silence! --
Oh you angels of love, if you are
Moved by the pleading of the suffering one,
Oh, descend then and
Lead me to my holy one!
That I might sink down at her feet,
And confess my suffering to her,
And through one of her gestures
See myself elevated to where you are!
