Love
Songs, 1
Translated by Edgar Alfred Bowring (1908) · From Book of Songs: Youthful Sorrows: Songs
Love
Every morning rise I, crying:
Comes my love to-day?
Then sink down at evening, sighing:
She is still away!
Sleepless and oppress’d with sorrow,
All night long I lie
Dreaming, half asleep; the morrow
Sadly wander I.
