A Woman's Life and Love |
Since I first saw him, I think myself blind. |
I look around me, and it’s only him I see. |
His image floats before me, |
So gentle and so kind, he has got a clear mind and firm courage |
Oh, ring upon my finger, little golden ring |
Devoutly I press you to my lips and to my heart |
Sisters come adorn me, banish foolish fear |
Twine upon my furrowed brow the blossoming myrtle |
I serve him and live for him |
Belong wholly to him |
Give myself and find myself transfigured by his brightness |
Ring upon my finger, little golden ring |
Devoutly I press you to my lips and to my heart |
The blissful dream of childhood has ended |
Now I drink delicious death with you my love |
Now you have me caused me my first pain- |
That really hurt. |
You sleep, you hard cruel man, the sleep of death |
The veil falls, the bell tolls, the black shawls, the carriage rolls |
You, my whole world. |
