And if the blooms - the small ones - knew
Otto Johann Anton Dütsch
And if the blooms - the small ones - knew
How deeply wounded is my heart,
They would weep with me
To heal my pain.
And if the nightingales knew
How sad and ill I am,
They would let forth merrily
A refreshing song.
And if they knew my woe -
The little golden stars -
They would come down from their heights
And speak their consolation to me.
But all of them could not know this,
Only one knows my pain;
She herself has indeed torn,
Torn my heart in two.
