by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832)

An Lida
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
Den einzigen [Lida]1, welchen du lieben kannst,
Forderst du ganz für dich, und mit Recht.
Auch ist er einzig dein.
Denn seit ich von dir bin,
Scheint mir des schnellsten Lebens
Lärmende Bewegung
Nur ein leichter Flor, durch den ich deine Gestalt
Immerfort wie in Wolken erblicke:
Sie leuchtet mir freundlich und treu,
Wie durch des Nordlichts bewegliche Strahlen
Ewige Sterne schimmern.
