by Theodor Storm (1817 - 1888)

Du gehst an meiner Seite hin
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
Du gehst an meiner Seite hin
Und achtest meiner nicht;
Nun schmerzt mich deine weiße Hand,
Dein süßes Angesicht.

O sprich wie sonst ein liebes Wort,
Ein einzig Wort mir zu!
Die Wunden bluten heimlich fort,
Auch du hast keine Ruh.

Der Mund, der jetzt zu meiner Qual
Sich stumm vor mir verschließt,
Ich hab ihn ja so tausendmal,
Vieltausendmal geküßt.

Was einst so überselig war,
Bricht nun das Herz entzwei;
Das Aug, das meine Seele trank,
Sieht fremd an mir vorbei.
