Welche Mißgunst hat zur Plage
Language: German (Deutsch)
Welche Mißgunst hat zur Plage Armer Liebe dich erdacht? Welcher Gott erschuf dich, sage, Nacht der Trennung, lange Nacht? Ohne Mondlicht, ohne Sterne, Ohne Lied der Nachtigall, Drückt auf alle Näh' und Ferne [Deiner Nebel]1 dunkler Schwall. Ungesehn und still wie Geister, Die von Stern zu Sterne ziehn, Wandelt nur die blasse Sehnsucht, Leise klagend, her und hin.

Absence
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Ah ! quel Dieu dur et sevère à l'amour ou quel destin t'a créé dans sa colère, nuit d'absence, nuit sans fin ? Plus de lune, plus d'étoiles, tout se tait, tout semble mort, car la terre sous tes voiles est dans son suaire et dort. Comme une âme pále et sombre, d'une étoile à l'autre errant, mon amour s'en va dans l'ombre à voix basse soupirant !
