Hab ich nur geschrieben
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG
Teilen kann ich nicht das Leben,
Nicht das Innen, noch das Außen,
Allen muß das Ganze geben,
Um mit euch und mir zu hausen.
Immer hab ich nur geschrieben,
Wie ichs fühle, wie ichs meine,
Und so spalt ich mich, ihr Lieben,
Und bin immerfort der Eine.

I have only written
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
I cannot divide life
into an inside and an outside.
In order to live with you and myself,
I must give all of you the whole of me.
Always, I have just written
as I felt, as I thought.
In this way, dear friends, I split myself
and at all times remain one.
