Musician's or Publisher's Notes
Dear God, Thou know'st how oft I've rued this:
That I gave my lover once a little kiss.
Heart's command I kiss him, how dismiss?
And long as I live I'll think of that first kiss.
Dear God, Thou know'st how oft in still of night,
How in joy and pain on him my thoughts delight.
Love is sweet, though bitter oft to rue;
My poor heart is his and ever, ever true.
The wind whispers loudly, as do the little birds;
The longing, the longing - it will not fall asleep.
Alas, when no longer into the golden distance
does my spirit hurry on dream-wings,
when no more on the eternally distant stars
does my longing gaze rest;
Then the wind and the little birds
will whisper away my longing, along with my life.
