Classic Poem

Lehn' deine Wang' an meine Wang'

Oh lean your cheek upon my cheek,
 Our tears thus shall mingle and flow, love!
And to my heart press close your heart,
 The flames beating so, love, shall glow, love!

And when the leaping radiance glows
 With tears like torrents thronging,
And when my arms are enfolding you close,
 I die of Love—and longing!
