Mir erblüht
Im Gemüth
Liebeslust,
Doch es glüht
Wundenmüd'
Schon die Brust.
Schmachte nach dem Schlaf so sehr,
Werfe Nachts mich hin und her,
Seufze schwer:
Käm' der Morgen!
Auf mich ein
Stürmt die Pein
Nacht und Tag,
Daß mich kein
Freudenschein
Trösten mag.
Abends wächst nur die Beschwer
Bin mein eigen nimmermehr,
Seufze schwer:
Käm' der Morgen!
Lange Nacht
Hingebracht
Ruhelos,
Bange Nacht
Durchgewacht --
Bittres Loos!
Wie ist Liebe freudenleer!
Tritt der Abend kaum daher,
Seufz' ich schwer:
Käm' der Morgen!
Träg verstreicht,
Spät entweicht
Nächt'ge Zeit;
Da beschleicht,
Da erreicht
Mich das Leid.
Ach daß sie mir nahe wär!
Deß beraubt, deß ich begehr',
Seufz' ich schwer:
Käm' der Morgen!

There blossoms
In my spirit
The joy of love,
But already,
Weary of wounds,
My bosom burns.
I yearn for sleep so longingly,
By night, I toss from side to side,
Sigh heavily:
Would the morning but come!
In upon me
Storms anguish
By night and by day,
So that no
Gleam of joy
May comfort me.
In the evening the hardship only grows,
I never belong to myself anymore,
Sigh heavily:
Would the morning but come!
Long night
Gotten through
Without rest,
Anxious night
Wakeful throughout --
A bitter lot!
How joyless is love!
When evening has barely approached,
I sigh heavily:
Would the morning but come!
Sluggishly passes,
Late departs
The time at night;
Then creeps upon me,
Then reaches me
Sorrow.
Oh, if she were but near!
Robbed of that, yearning for that,
I sigh heavily:
Would the morning but come!
