Das Klagen, das Sehnen, die Seufzer, die Tränen, Einst verlacht' ich sie mit Spotten und Höhnen; Ich lache nicht mehr, ich sah' sie, die Eine, Die Holde, die Reine, nun seufz' ich und weine, Doch Reiz verleiht ein Blick der Schönen Dem Klagen, dem Sehnen, den Seufzern, den Tränen.
Authorship
- possibly by Émile Deschamps (1791 - 1871) [author's text not yet checked against a primary source]
- sometimes misattributed to Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)
Note: the Meyerbeer score gives Heine as the sole author for the entire song text, but this stanza cannot be found in Heine's work, as corroborated by the Düsseldorf Heine-Institut. For a discussion of why it might be Émile Deschamps please see Sonja Gesse-Harm, Zwischen Ironie und Sentiment. Heinrich Heine im Kunstlied des 19. Jahrhunderts, Stuttgart und Weimar : Verlag J. B. Metzler, 2006, page 257.
