by Paul Heyse (1830 - 1914)

Ach, wie so gerne bleib' ich euch ferne
 (Sung text for setting by A. Fielitz)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Ach, wie so gerne 
Bleib' ich euch ferne,
Schimmernde Säle, von Kerzen erhellt!
Daß mir im Dunkeln
Zwei Augen funkeln,
Ist meine Wonne, ist meine Welt!

Sucht' ich doch allen 
Einst zu gefallen,
Habe verstohlen die Netze gestellt.
Einem mich schmücken,
Einen beglücken,
Ward meine Wonne, ward meine Welt!

Einsam in Stillen
Um seinetwillen
Pocht mir das Herz von Sehnsucht geschwellt:
Ihn zu umfangen,
An ihm zu hangen,
Bis mir in Wonnen schwindet die Welt!
