by Johannes Martin Miller (1750 - 1814)

Das mitleidige Mädchen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Der fromme Damon dauert mich
von ganzem Herzen,
voll innern Harms verzehrt er sich
in Liebesschmerzen.
Wie Sommerrosen welkt er hin.
Doch weinen kann ich nur um ihn.

Er schwankt des Tages zehenmal
mein Haus vorüber,
und immer wird bei seiner Qual
mein Auge trüber.
Ich blicke traurig nach ihm hin.
Doch weinen kann ich nur um ihn.

Ach dir, Amyntas, schlägt allein
dies Herz im Stillen.
Du nur kannst seine süße Pein
durch Liebe stillen!
O Liebe, lenke du sein Herz
und lindr, o lindre Damons Schmerz!
