Love
Lyrical Intermezzo, 54
Translated by Edgar Alfred Bowring (1908) · From Book of Songs: Lyrical Intermezzo
Love
When two fond lovers are parted,
They give each other the hand,
To weep and to sigh beginning,
And losing all self-command.
But not one single tear wept we,
No Ah! or Alas! did we sigh;
Our tears and our sighs both together
Too surely came by-and-by.
