Teurer Freund, du bist verliebt

Teurer Freund, du bist verliebt,
Und dich quälen neue Schmerzen;
Dunkler wird es dir im Kopf,
Heller wird es dir im Herzen.

Teurer Freund, du bist verliebt,
Und du willst es nicht bekennen,
Und ich seh des Herzens Glut
Schon durch deine Weste brennen.

by Heinrich Heine (1797-1856) , no title, from Buch der Lieder, in Die Heimkehr, no. 54

Dearest friend, thou art in love

Dearest friend, thou art in love,
   Tortured with new woes thou art;
Darker grows it in thy brain,
   Lighter grows it in thy heart.

Dearest friend, thou art in love,
   Though thou hast not yet confessed.
I can see thy flaming heart
   Burn already through thy vest.

by Emma Lazarus (1849-1887) , from Poems and Ballads of Heinrich Heine, published 1881
