Im wunderschönen Monat Mai
In the beautiful month of May,
When all the buds opened,
love welled up in my heart.
...
I told her my longing and desire.
Aus meinen Tränen spriessen
Robert Schumann
From my tears spring many blossoms
and my sighs become a choir or nightingales.
As I look into your eyes
all my pain and sorrow vanish;
but as I kiss your lips
I am completely healed.
(1810-1856)
And if you will love me, child,
I will send you all the flowers
and at your window shall be heard
the song of the nightingale.
Die Rose, die Lilie, die Taube, die Sonne
The rose, the lily, the dove, the sun,
I once loved them all blissfully.
I love them no longer; I love only she
who is small, gentle, pure, unique ...
Wenn ich in deine Augen seh
As I lay my head on your breast
heavenly bliss overcomes me;
but when you say 'I love you'
I must weep bitterly.

Oh if only one could see what pictures are
being painted behind that brow, those black lashes.
