Love
Lyrical Intermezzo, 2
Translated by Edgar Alfred Bowring (1908) · From Book of Songs: Lyrical Intermezzo
Love
From out of my tears all burning
Many blooming flowerets break,
And all my sighs combining
A chorus of nightingales make.
And if thou dost love me, my darling,
To thee shall the flowerets belong;
Before thy window shall echo
The nightingale’s tuneful song.
