Gefrorene Tränen
Language:
German
Gefrorne Tropfen fallen
Von meinen Wangen ab:
[Und ist's]1 mir denn entgangen,
Daß ich geweinet hab'?
Ei Tränen, meine Tränen,
Und seid ihr gar so lau,
Daß ihr erstarrt zu Eise
Wie kühler Morgentau?
[Und]2 dringt doch aus der Quelle
Der Brust so glühend heiß,
Als wolltet ihr zerschmelzen
Des ganzen Winters Eis!

Note: Grammatically the first line should be "Gefror'ne" but it is often published without the apostrophe.
1 Schubert: "Ob es"
2 In the repetition of this stanza in Schubert's setting, this becomes "Ihr"
