by Torquato Tasso (1544 - 1595)
Translation by Ida Marie Luise Sophie Friederike Gustava Hahn-Hahn (1805 - 1880)

Lasst mir die Klage
 (Sung text for setting by G. Händel)
 Matches base text
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Italian (Italiano) 
Lasst mir die Klage, 
lasst mir den Schmerz,
dass ich sie trage,
still himmelwärts!
Wehrt nicht der Tränen 
ewigem Lauf,
weckt doch all' Sehnen 
Vergang'nes nicht auf.

Schweiget vom Glücke,
hab' es gekannt,
aber dem Blicke,
so schnell es entschwand!
Morgenstern scheinet 
spät wohl und früh,
Sonne vereinet,
saht ihr ihn noch nie.

Lasst mir die Klage,
lasst mir den Schmerz,
dass ich sie trage,
still himmelwärts!
Bin so geschieden
vom Glück der Welt:
Lieb' ist hienieden
mit Leiden umstellt.
