Also lieb' ich Euch, Geliebte, Daß mein Herz es nicht mag wagen, Irgend einen Wunsch zu tragen, Also lieb' ich Euch! Denn wenn ich zu wünschen wagte, Hoffen würd' ich auch zugleich; Wenn ich nicht zu hoffen zagte, Weiß ich wohl, erzürnt' ich Euch. Darum ruf' ich ganz alleine Nur dem Tod, daß er erscheine, Weil mein Herz es nicht mag wagen, Einen andern Wunsch zu tragen, Also lieb' ich Euch!

So do I love you, beloved, that my heart does not dare to cherish any desire at all - so do I love you! If I dared to wish, I might also hope as well; and if I did not hesitate to hope, I know well I would anger you. So I call only for Death, that he might appear, because my heart cannot dare cherish another wish: so do I love you!
