Love
Are They Lovers?
Translated by William N. Loew (1912) · From Selected Lyrics
Love
Soul and body, are they lovers,
I would like to know?
Do they, as is fit for lovers
Feel each other's woe?
Or is the soul a so-called friend,
Who honest friendship does pretend,
'Until he finds the end is nigh,
When he is off and let him die?
