by Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)
Translation by Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806 - 1861)
Aus meinen großen Schmerzen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Aus meinen großen Schmerzen Mach' ich die kleinen Lieder; Die heben ihr klingend Gefieder Und flattern nach ihrem Herzen. Sie fanden den Weg zur Trauten, Doch kommen sie wieder und klagen, Und klagen, und wollen nicht sagen, Was sie im Herzen schauten.

Out of my own great woe Matches base text
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Out of my own great woe I make my little songs, Which rustle their feathers in throngs, And beat on her heart even so. They found the way, for their part, Yet come again, and complain, Complain, and are not fain To say what they saw in her heart.
