What is Love ?

Of pain so long and sore,
That though thou shedd’st a million tears
It still will ask for more.

A passing token but from her
Forever binds thy soul,
And never wilt forget her now,
Thy life is here, the whole.

But when on threshold there for thee,
Or in the shady nooks,
Fulfilling all thy heart’s desire,
She waits with longing looks,

Then earth and heaven disappear,
And throbbing is thy heart,
All hangs on a half-whispered word,
New life with it doth start.

A pressure of the hand so sweet,
An eyelash twinkling, nay,
A lazy gait, an aimless word,
Pursues thee night and day.

And eyes pursue thee, light thy way,
Like sun and moon so bright,
And wheresoever, night and day
They are thy only light.

And it is was doomed that all thy life
For her alone shall long,
For like the water bindweed she
Has caught thy soul so strong.

Translated by Petre Grimm
