I, like a wandering bubble
|
|
|
Where has my childhood gone, where are its placid years?
|
|
|
The Fire of love I for my idol know
|
|
|
O ask not frigid Piety to dwell
|
|
|
I care not if no rest nor peace remain
|
|
|
Thy beauty flashes like a sword
|
|
|
Through Love did I the joy of life attain
|
|
|
Had I control o'er her, the dear Tormentor
|
|
|
O burnish well the mirror of thy heart
|
|
|
The Eyes of the narcissus win new light
|
|
