Alles, wo ich weil' und gehe Muß Verlangen mir erregen, Ewig ist von süßem Wehe Mir die volle Brust erfüllt, Und du [kommst]1 auf allen Wegen Mir entgegen, Holdes Bild! Flieh' ich dich, so muß ich leiden, Leiden, wenn ich dich erblicke, Immer zwischen Sehn und Meiden Schwankt mein Herz im raschen Streit, Und mir naht, wohin ich blicke, Leid im Glücke, Glück im Leid. Wenn ich still auf Lieder sinne, Scheinst du hold mit mir zu scherzen, Und ich ruh' im Wahn der Minne Selig dann an deiner Brust. Flieh, o Traum, du bringst dem Herzen Lange Schmerzen, Kurze Lust! Wogend zwischen Freud' und Kummer Schweb' ich, wie im Meer der Nachen, Und ich wünsche nun den Schlummer, Und zu wachen wünsch' ich nun. Soll ich weinen, soll ich lachen? Soll ich wachen Oder ruhn? Wollt' ich aus dem Leben scheiden, Schwiegen [wol]2 die wilden Triebe; Doch zu missen Lust und Leiden, Ist dem Herzen kein Gewinn. [Sei]3 du freundlich oder trübe, Süße Liebe, Nimm mich hin!
J. Lang sets stanzas 1, 3

Wherever I tarry and walk, everything Must call forth longing within me, With sweet pain my full bosom Is eternally filled, And upon all roads you come Towards me, Lovely image! If I flee from you, I must suffer, Must suffer when I espy you, Ever between beholding and avoiding My heart alternates in a rapid conflict, And wherever I look I encounter Suffering in joy, Joy in suffering. When I am quietly pondering songs, You seem to be sweetly jesting with me, And, in the delusion of love, I rest Blissfully upon your breast. Be off, oh dream, you bring my heart Lasting pains, Fleeting pleasure! Tossed between joy and heartache I float like a barque in the sea, And I desire slumber at one moment, And at the next I desire to be watchful. Should I weep, should I laugh? Should I watch Or rest? If I were to depart this life, The wild urges might well fall silent, But to do without joy and suffering Is of no benefit to my heart. Whether you be friendly or gloomy, Sweet love, Take me!
