Ich lehn' im offenen Gemache
Language: German (Deutsch)
Ich lehn' im offenen Gemache,
Es ist die Stunde still und spät;
Wie einsam geht der Tag vorüber,
Der ohne dich vorüber geht!
Es liegt mein Licht in deinen Augen,
Doch deine Augen meiden mich,
Es liegt mein Heil in deinen Händen,
Doch nimmermehr gewinn ich dich.
Ich lehn' im offenen Gemache,
Und lausche, wie der Lenzwind weht;
Wie einsam geht der Lenz vorüber,
Der ohne dich vorüber geht!

Lament
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
I lean out from [my] open chamber,
It is the hour soft and late.
How desolately does the day pass
That passes without you!
My light lies in your eyes,
But your eyes avoid me.
My salvation lies in your hands,
But I shall never win you.
I lean out from [my] open chamber,
And listen to the spring wind blow.
How desolately does the spring pass
That passes without you!
