by Johann Peter Eckermann (1792 - 1854)

Der Liebe Leiden
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Was zu allem Thun
Mir die Lust verleidet,
Was voll Unmuth mich
Hin und wieder treibet,
Ach, ich weiß es nicht!
 
Was in Nächten mir
Allen Schlummer scheuchet,
Was die Röthe mir
Von den Wangen bleichet,
Ach, ich weiß es nicht!
 
Ob es anders wär',
Könnt ich sie noch sehen,
Ob es anders wär',
Könnt' ich bei ihr stehen,
Ach, ich weiß es nicht!
 
Ob die Ruhe je
Sich im Busen mehret,
Und die Röthe mir
Zu den Wangen kehret,
Ach, ich weiß es nicht!
