With you are my thoughts

Brahms, Johannes

With you are my thoughts,

and they flutter around you.

They say they are homesick;

they will suffer being here no more.

With you are my thoughts

and they do not wish to leave;

they say that in all the world, it is

the most beautiful place.

They say that you hold them inextricably,

your magic keeping them captive;

they have, by your glances,

burned up their wings.
