Verständniß

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG

Wie's auch wild im Busen wogte,
Nicht gestand's mein Mund;
Nur in Tönen, nur in Liedern
Gab der Schmerz sich kund.
 
Doch sie hat mich ganz verstanden;
Nicht gestand's ihr Mund,
Nur in ihrem Blick die Perle
Gab davon mir Kund'.

Understanding

NOTE: the footnotes have been removed from this text; return to general view

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

However wildly it heaved within my bosom,
My lips did not admit it;
Only in musical sounds, only in songs
Did the pain reveal itself.
 
Yet she understood me completely;
Her lips did not admit it,
Only the pearl tear within her gaze
Gave me tidings of it.
