by Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)
Translation by Emma Lazarus (1849 - 1887)
Daß du mich liebst, daß wußt' ich
Language: German (Deutsch)
Daß du mich liebst, daß wußt' ich, Ich hatt' es längst entdeckt; Doch als du mir's gestanden, Hat es mich tief erschreckt. Ich stieg wohl auf die Berge Und jubelte und sang; Ich ging ans Meer und weinte Beim Sonnenuntergang. Mein Herz ist wie die Sonne So flammend anzusehn, Und in ein Meer von Liebe Versinkt es groß und schön.

I know that thou must love me
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
I know that thou must love me -- 'Twas long ago made clear. But thy confession filled me With deep and secret fear. I clambered up the mountain, And sang aloud for glee. Then while the sun was setting, I wept beside the sea. My heart is like the sun, dear, Yon kindled flame above; And sinks in large-orbed beauty Within a sea of love.
