Still though the one I sing,
(One, yet of contradictions made) I dedicate to Nationality,
I leave in him revolt, (O latent right of insurrection! O quenchless, indispensable fire!)
|
in the still, star-lit night, A shade fell on the grass; |
Love still has something of the sea, They are becalmed in clearest days, |
Anonymous translation from the German PAIN’S furnace heat within me quivers, |
I Love to wander through the woodlands hoary How through each loved, familiar path she lingers, |
Precious to Me — She still shall be — |
Still own thee — still thou art |
