by Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)
Translation by Frederic Field Bullard
Aus meinen großen Schmerzen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Aus meinen großen Schmerzen Mach' ich die kleinen Lieder; Die heben ihr klingend Gefieder Und flattern nach ihrem Herzen. Sie fanden den Weg zur Trauten, Doch kommen sie wieder und klagen, Und klagen, und wollen nicht sagen, Was sie im Herzen schauten.

Out of my soul's great sadness
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Out of my soul's great sadness My little songs come winging; Like wee, feathered birds a-singing They fly to her heart in gladness. They found her, and round her hover'd, And now they're come back, and they scold me, And yet not a songlet has told me What they in her heart discovered.
