O schaudre nicht! Laß diesen Blick
Language: German (Deutsch)
O schaudre nicht! Laß diesen Blick,
Laß diesen Händedruck dir sagen,
Was unaussprechlich ist:
Sich hinzugeben ganz und eine Wonne
Zu fühlen, die ewig sein muß!
Ewig! -- Ihr Ende würde Verzweiflung sein.
Nein! kein Ende. Kein Ende!

Oh do not shudder! Let this gaze
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Oh do not shudder! Let this gaze,
Let the pressure of these hands tell you
That which is impossible to articulate:
To abandon oneself utterly and to feel
A bliss that must be eternal!
Eternal! Its end would be despair.
No! no end. No end!
