Love
Emma, 4
Translated by Edgar Alfred Bowring (1908) · From New Poems: Emma
Love
Emma, for my satisfaction
Say if I’m distracted driven,
By my love, or is love only
The result of my distraction?
Ah! I’m tortured, charming Emma,
Not alone by my mad loving,
Not alone by loving madness,
But besides by this dilemma.
