Schöne, Liebe, die du alle Klagen Meiner ruhelosen Seele stillst, Alles Schwere will ich gerne tragen, Wenn nur du mich nicht verlassen willst. Meiner heißen Jugend Flammen steigen Jeden Tag zu einem wilden Brand, Um sich dankbar und beglückt zu neigen Einem Winke deiner weißen Hand.

Beautiful one, dear one, you who assuage All the laments of my restless soul, I would gladly bear every heavy [burden] If only you would not leave me. The flames of my ardent youth rise Every day to a wild conflagration, In order to bow down, gratefully and delightedly, At a single sign from your white hand.
