Love
Lyrical Intermezzo, 50
Translated by Edgar Alfred Bowring (1908) · From Book of Songs: Lyrical Intermezzo
Love
In the glimmering summer morning
I pace the garden alone;
The flowers are whisp’ring and speaking,
But silently wander I on.
The flowers are whisp’ring and speaking,
My form with compassion they scan:
O pray be kind to our sister,
Thou mournful and pale-faced man!
