Love
Nunc Amet
Translated by Frank C. Nicholson (1907) · From Old German Love Songs (1907)
Love
To use dear friends as strangers, a sorry thing it is!
Who to his friend holds closely, praise is surely his;
I am fain of that custom.
Bid him to love me dearly, as in times gone past,
And mind him of the words we spoke when I looked upon him last.
