Die Verwundete
Language: German (Deutsch)
Um einen Liebsten leid' ich,
Das ist ein Jäger schön!
Und die ich einst so freudig,
Muß nun in Leid vergehn.
Dem Wild mit Bley und Hunden,
Mir mit der Augen Schein,
Erregt er Weh und Wunden,
Und lacht wohl obendrein.
Doch finden Hirsch und Rehe
Wohl ihrer Wunden Ruh;
Doch mein geheimes Wehe,
Ach, heilet niemals zu! --
Confirmed with Gedichte von J.P. Eckermannn, Leipzig: F.A. Brockhaus, 1838, page 47

The wounded one
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
I suffer because of a beloved,
He is a handsome huntsman!
And I who was once so joyful
Must now dissolve in sorrow
His game with bullets and dogs,
Me with the sparkle of his eyes
He causes pain and wounds,
And likely laughs into the bargain.
But stags and deer find
Rest in their wounds;
My secret pain, however,
Ah, that shall never heal! --
