Meine Ruh' ist dahin

Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE
Meine Ruh' ist dahin,
Meine Freud' ist entflohn;
In dem Flüstern der Lüfte,
In dem Rauschen des Bachs,
Hör' ich bebend nur Klageton.

Seinem schmeichelnden Wort
Und dem Druck seiner Hand,
Seinem heißen Verlangen,
Seinem glühenden Kuß -
Weh mir, daß ich nicht widerstand!

Wenn ich von fern Ihn seh,
Will ich ihn zu mir ziehn;
Kaum entdeckt mich sein Auge,
Kaum tritt näher er mir,
Möcht' ich gern in mein Grab entfliehn.

Einmal, ach einmal nur	
Möcht' ich ihn glücklich sehn
Hier, am klopfenden Herzen;
An der sehnenden Brust;
Wollte dann lächelnd untergehn! -
