Freudlose Liebe

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG

Ging aus, die Lieb zu suchen
Und fand die Leidenschaft,
Die hat mit heißem Athem
Mein Blühen weggerafft.

Nun kommt die Lieb gegangen
Und schaut mich traurig an,
Weil ich nicht eine Blume
Der Holden bieten kann.

Confirmed with Anna Ritter, Gedichte, Neunte Auflage, Stuttgart und Berlin: J.G. Cotta'sche Buchhandlung Nachfolger, 1900, page 177.
