Unruhe

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG

An Wunden, schweren,
Langsam verbluten,
In heimlichen Gluten
Still sich verzehren,
Täglich voll Reue
Den Wahnsinn verschwören.
Täglich aufs neue
Sich wieder betören,
Ewig zum Meiden
Die Schritte wenden
Und doch nicht scheiden -
O Lieb', o Leiden,
Wann wirst du enden!

Unrest

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

From wounds, severe ones,
Slowly to bleed to death,
In secret flames
Quietly to consume one's self,
Daily full of rue
To conspire with madness,
Daily anew
To delude one's self,
Eternally toward avoidance
To turn one's steps
And yet not to depart:
Oh love, oh suffering,
When will you end!
