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 stumm an deinem Blick;
Du bist so jung, du bist so schön,
Aus deinen Augen lacht das Glück.
Und ich so arm, so müde schon,
Ich habe nichts, was dich gewinnt.
O, wär' ich doch ein Königssohn
Und du ein arm', verlor'nes Kind!
