by Friedrich Heinrich Karl, Freiherr de La Motte-Fouqué (1777 - 1843)

Ächtes Lieben
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Ächtes Lieben
   Ist Betrüben,
   Thut so wohl und doch so weh;
   Aechte Minne
   Zieht die Sinne
   Schmerzend sich nach über Land und See.--
 
Wollt der Schmerzen
   Ihr, o Herzen,
   Gerne los und ledig sein?
   Werft das Lieben,
   Das Betrüben
   Frisch in die kühlige Fluth hinein!--
 
Ach, dies Leiden
   Ist mein Weiden,
   Nimmer, nimmer laß ich's los;
   Fiel' sein Schwellen
   In die Wellen,
   Spräng' ich ihm nach in den Todesschooß.
