by Theodor Storm (1817 - 1888)

O laß mich nur von ferne stehn
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG FRE
O laß mich nur von ferne stehn
Und [hangen]1 stumm an deinem Blick;
Du bist so jung, du bist so schön,
Aus deinen Augen lacht das Glück.
[Und]2 ich so arm, so müde schon,
Ich habe nichts, [was]3 dich gewinnt.
O, wär' ich doch ein Königssohn
Und du ein arm', [verlor'nes]4 Kind!
