The Poems of Goethe, Translated in the Original Metres

Part 2 / Act 3 — ACT III.

Edgar Alfred Bowring translation

CLARA sings.

Gladness

And sadness And pensiveness blending

Yearning

And burning In torment ne'er ending;

Sad unto death, Proudly soaring above;

Happy alone Is the soul that doth love!

FROM "WILHELM MEISTER'S APPRENTICESHIP."
