Lieben, von ganzer Seele, Lieben herzinniglich, Daß nimmer ich's verhehle, Heiß lieben muß ich dich! Wie's kommt? wie kann ich's wissen? Wohl höher schlägt mein Herz, Wenn deine Augen grüßen: Gehst du, erbebts im Schmerz, Erbebt im heißen Glühen, Im still verschwiegnen Rausch, Und Tränen überziehen Den Blick im Wechseltausch. Lieben, von ganzer Seele, muß ich dich! Du wirst mich nie umschließen, Nie wird dein Aug' mir glühn! Der Sehnsucht still Vermissen Wird nie dich zu mir ziehn! So hoffnungslos mein Lieben? Gewiß! doch trostlos nicht! Will Gegenwart nicht trüben, Zukunft? kenn' ich ja nicht! Will auch der Trennungsstunde Schmerz düster mich umwehn, Lächle mit bleichem Munde: Jenseits ist Wiedersehn!

Aimer, de toute mon âme, Aimer de tout mon cœur, Je ne peux jamais le cacher, Je dois t'aimer intensément ! Comment est-ce arrivé ? comment puis-je le savoir ? Mon cœur bat très fort, Quand tes yeux me saluent : Quand tu t'en vas, il tremble de douleur, Il tremble d'un feu brûlant, En une ivresse silencieuse et discrète, Et des larmes coulent Qui voilent mon regard. Je dois t'aimer de toute mon âme ! Tu ne m'embrasseras jamais, Jamais tes yeux ne brilleront pour moi ! Le désir et le regret silencieux Ne t'attireront jamais vers moi ! Mon amour est-il si sans espoir ? Sûrement ! mais pas sans réconfort ! Je ne veux pas troubler le présent, L'avenir ? je ne sais rien de lui ! Même si l'heure de la séparation Souffle autour de moi douloureusement et lugubrement, Je souris avec des lèvres pâles, Nous nous reverrons dans l'au-delà !
