Kind! Es wäre dein Verderben
Language:
German
Kind! Es wäre dein Verderben,
Und ich geb' mir selber Mühe,
Daß dein liebes Herz in Liebe
Nimmermehr für mich erglühe.
Nur daß mir's so leicht gelinget,
Will mich dennoch fast betrüben,
Und ich denke manchmal dennoch:
Möchtest du mich dennoch lieben!

Child, I must be very careful
Language:
English
Child, I must be very careful,
For thy soul would surely perish,
If the loved heart in thy bosom
Love for me should ever cherish.
But the task proves all too easy,
Strange regrets begin to move me.
Meanwhile many a time I whisper:
"If I could but make her love me!"
