An die Entfernte

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG

Denkst du mein? Taut der Abend nieder,
Naht der Morgen wieder und beim Mondenshein.
Denk ich meiner Lieder süsse Huldinn dein.

Denkst du mein? Wenn in bangen Schlägen,
Sehnend dir entgegen oft mein Herze bebt;
Wenn mit heissen Tränen dir nach dir mein Sehnen.

Denkst du mein? Oft in Buchengange
Schlägt mein herz so bange und nach dir allein!
Du im Sehnsuchts Dränge denk' ich
immer liebend Dein! O denkst du mein?

Denke mein! Freundinn meines Lebens
Nimmer wird vergebens uns're liebe sein.
Süssen Lohn des Strebens reicht uns der Verein!
Denke mein!, O denke mein!

To the Distant One

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Are you thinking of me when the evening dew falls?
When the morning is near again, and by moon light?
I think of you, who inspired all my songs.

Are you thinking of me,
When my heart trembles for you in fearful beats?
When with hot tears
My longing is for you?

Are you thinking of me? Often in the beech groves
My heart beats apprehensively for you alone.
In the throes of passion, I would rather think only of you.

Think of me! Companion of my life
Our love will never be in vain.
The sweet reward for strife will be our union!
Think of me!
