Stille Zeit
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG FRE
Die Tage rinnen leise hin . . .
Ein jeder bringt ein liebes Glück
Und eine liebe Sorge mit,
Und schau ich so den Weg zurück,
Den ich mit dir gegangen bin,
Da will es mir fast bange werden
Um so viel Seligkeit auf Erden. --
Confirmed with Anna Ritter, Befreiung. Neue Gedichte, Fünfte Auflage, Stuttgart: J.G. Cotta'sche Buchhandlung Nachfolger, 1900, page 20.

A quiet time
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
The days flow quietly past . . .
Every one brings a dear happiness
And a dear anxiety along with it,
And if I look back upon the path
That I have walked with you,
I am almost frightened
By so much bliss upon earth. --
