Love
Secret Love
Translated by Frank C. Nicholson (1907) · From Old German Love Songs (1907)
Love
Lo, the star of evening hides its brightness now!
Fair lady, if thou see me, even so do thou!
Then upon some other man let thy glances go,
And how it stands between us there's never any man shall know!
