Under love's heavy burden do I sink Can I go forward, when my heart is here? I cannot be here, here and there there and here for You and I are past our dancing days
I like the lighting which does cease to be Here one can say "I see" Beauty too rich for use for earth too dear Did my heart love 'til now? I forswear!
Regions near me seemed all alone My mutual cry she never heard again Now sadness is beloved, and love we gain Alike bewitched by charm of looks
Night, sable Goddess, from Your ebony throne Every eye is fixed on You alone I thank You, moon, for showing me away Trip away, make me stay, meet me all by break of day
You made mine eyes and merry tears O grim-looked night, the way You fear! Full many flowers born to blush unseen And waste their sweetness now, shred their last gleam Trip away, make me stay, meet me all by break of day! Heaven/hell, shadow-dancer heatened blood make holy hands unclean
Mine eyes look sad, the grim-looked night away Stare around the sphere to blush unseen - Your tears
When You turn away Leave me out of the end Turn You insane out Leave me, if You will
Away from light steals forth my soul I want give cure as know But love's a smoke with fume of sights So swallow down and rise, autumn rise!
