Love
Night Thoughts
Translated by Frank C. Nicholson (1907) · From Old German Love Songs (1907)
Love
"When in my night-dress I stand all alone,
And when I think upon thee, noble knight, thereon
Bright grows my face, as blossoms the rose upon the thorn,
And the heart within me is sad and fain to mourn."
