Deinem Blick darf meiner nicht begegnen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Deinem Blick darf meiner nicht begegnen,
Meine Seele, die so viel gelitten,
Darf gebeugt nicht mehr die deine bitten:
Wolle die verlorene Schwester segnen!
Leise nur im allertiefsten Innern
Will sie der gewesenen Schwesterzeiten,
Der in Schmach verspielten Seligkeiten,
Schweigend und mit Schmerzen sich erinnern.

My gaze must not encounter yours
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
My gaze must not encounter yours
My soul that has suffered so much
Must, bowed down, no longer utter pleas to yours:
May the lost sister[-soul] be blessed!
Only quietly in the deepest depths of my being
Shall [my soul] think back to the past time of sisterhood,
To the bliss disgracefully squandered,
[Think back] silently and with pain.
