Translations. -Die Heimkehr. (From Heine.)
LX. They have company this evening, And the house is full of light; Up there at the shining window Moves a shadowy form in white. Thou seest me not--in the darkness I stand here below, apart; Yet less, ah less thou seest Into my gloomy heart! My gloomy heart it loves thee, Loves thee in every spot: It breaks, it bleeds, it shudders--But into it thou seest not! LXII. Diamonds hast thou, and pearls, And all by which men lay store; And of eyes thou hast the fairest-- Darling, what wouldst thou more? Upon thine eyes so lovely Have I a whole army-corps Of undying songs composed-- Dearest, what wouldst thou more? And with thine eyes so lovely Thou hast tortured me very sore, And hast ruined me altogether-- Darling, what wouldst thou more?
