by Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)
Weil ich dich liebe, muß ich fliehend
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): FRE
Weil ich dich liebe, muß ich fliehend Dein Antlitz meiden - zürne nicht. Wie paßt dein Antlitz, schön und blühend, Zu meinem traurigen Gesicht! Weil ich dich liebe, wird so bläßlich, So elend mager mein Gesicht - Du fändest mich am Ende häßlich - Ich will dich meiden - zürne nicht.
