[03:51.00]With how sad steps You climb the skies !
[03:51.00]How silently, how pale Your face...
[03:51.00]What may it be, that even in this place
[03:51.00]that busy archer his arrows tries ?
[03:51.00]Liebe verendet zu Staub und verlabt mich
[03:51.00]Mein Geist, er schaut auf zu den hoheren
[03:51.00]Zielen und reichert fur mich Unvergangliches
[03:51.00]an, Vergangliches bringt mir nur
[03:51.00]endliche Freuden
[03:51.00]Leave me, oh love, which reachest but to dust
[03:51.00]And You, my mind, aspire to higher things
[03:51.00]Grow rich in that which never takes rust
[03:51.00]What ever fades but fading pleasure brings
[03:51.00]Verbreite die Strahlen, gib' mir Deine Macht,
[03:51.00]die die Wolken besiegt und das Licht mir bewegt
[03:51.00]durch den Fruhling des goldnen belebenden Blickes
[03:51.00]Ich suche den Weg in der Dammerung schwer
[03:51.00]And let the day be time enough to mourn
[03:51.00]Let walking eyes suffice to vail their scorn
[03:51.00]The shipwreck of my ill-adventured youth
[03:51.00]Without the torment of the night's untruth
