Love
Tragedy, 1
Translated by Edgar Alfred Bowring (1908) · From New Poems: Tragedy
Love
O fly with me, and be my wife,
And to my heart for comfort come!
Far, far away hence be my heart,
Thy fatherland and father’s home.
If thou’lt not go, I here will die,
And all alone abandon thee;
And if thou in thy father’s home
Dost stay, thou’lt seem abroad to be.
