Gränzt die Freude denn hienieden Immer nur an Traurigkeit? Ist uns denn kein Glück beschieden, Das sich ohne Thränen freut? Kronhelm, ach, und du Erwählte, Schmerz und Wonne schafft ihr mir! Kaum daß Liebe nicht mehr quälte, Quälet Freundschaft mich dafür. Kaum daß Sie dem wunden Herzen Endlich Linderung ertheilt, Wird mit neuen bangen Schmerzen Die zerrißne Brust zertheilt. An die Eine Seite sinket Das erflehte Mädchen hin; Ach, und von der andern winket Unerforschte Schickung Ihn! Wandl', o Freund! nach tausend Thränen, Dem erweinten Mädchen zu! Erndte, nach so langem Sehnen, Der erweichten Liebe Ruh! Und Du, Mariane, eile, [Segen lächelnd]1, an mein Herz, Und umarme mich, und heile Der verlaßnen Freundschaft Schmerz!

Here on earth must joy always Border on sadness? Is no joy allotted to us That can rejoice without tears? Kronhelm, ah, and you chosen one, You create pain and joy for me! Love has only just ceased to torment me When friendship torments me instead. Barely has she finally bestowed comfort On my wounded heart, When my torn bosom is ravaged By new anxious pains. At my one side the maiden For whom I pleaded sinks down; Ah, and from the other side Unexplored fate beckons him! Go, oh friend! after a thousand tears Wander toward the maiden for whom you wept! Reap, after such long yearning, The peace of love that was softened [by your tears]! And you, Mariane, hasten, Smiling blessings, to my breast, And embrace me and heal The pain of friendship that has departed.
