TO — - ZaunköniG - 09.02.2019 TO — Thou whom of all the beings I have seen I could adore most truly, — if our fate Had so permitted it; but now I ween To love were far more cruel than to hate: O, had we met at some more happy date I might have won thee for my angel bride; And thou in me hadst found a truer mate Than Constancy had ever known beside: Our bodies as our kindred souls allied; I know no state of happiness more blest; For thee, deserting all, I could have died, Or have died, all-deserted, on thy breast! But, fare thee well! — I know that I am one Condemned alike to live and die alone! RE: TO — - ZaunköniG - 09.02.2019 TO THE SAME I thought that I could ever happy be, Married to meditation, and my lyre, Charming the moments on with melody That fills the ear with musical desire; But now far other thoughts my breast inspire; I find no happiness in poesy; Within my soul burns a diviner fire, For now my heart is full of love and Thee! Yet 'tis a melancholy thing to love, When Fate or Expectation shuts the door, When all the mercy I can hope, above Mere friendship, is thy pity, — and no more, For who could love a being such as me, Thy most unhappy son, Fatality? |
