Gefrorne Tropfen fallen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Gefrorne Tropfen fallen
Von meinen Wangen ab:
[Und ist's]1 mir denn entgangen,
Daß ich geweinet hab'?
Ei Thränen, meine Thränen,
Und seid ihr gar so lau,
Daß ihr erstarrt zu Eise,
Wie kühler Morgenthau?
[Und]2 dringt doch aus der Quelle
Der Brust so glühend heiß,
Als wolltet ihr zerschmelzen
Des ganzen Winters Eis.

Frozen tears
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Frozen tear drops
fall from my cheeks:
Can it be that, without knowing it,
I have been weeping?
O tears, my tears,
are you so lukewarm,
That you turn to ice
like cold morning dew?
Yet you spring from a source,
my breast, so burning hot,
As if you wanted to melt
all of the ice of winter!
