Love
Love Song V
Translated by George A. Barton, from the German of W. Max Müller · From Archaeology and the Bible (1916)
Love
The wild goose flies up and soars,
She sinks down upon the net.
The birds cry in flocks,
But I hasten homeward,
Since I care for your love alone.
My heart yearns for your breast,
I cannot sunder myself from your attractions.
