Es goß mein volles Leben
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG
Es goß mein volles Leben
sich selig vor dir aus,
in Arme magst du's heben
und tragen in dein Haus.
All Leid und alles Wissen
ihm abgeworfen sind,
es harret deiner Winke,
es ist nur wie ein Kind.
Es will dich ganz umschlingen,
tauchen ins Auge dein
und trunken bei dir singen:
"Wir werden Eines sein."

My full life poured itself
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
My full life poured itself
blissfully out before you,
you may lift it into your arms
and carry it into your house.
All suffering and all knowledge
have been stripped from it,
it awaits your cues,
it is nothing more than a child.
It wishes to embrace you completely,
to plunge into your eyes
and, intoxicated, to sing near you:
“We shall become one.”
