Meditation and Wedding Prayer

You stand before me, a proud woman, in high, unapproachable splendor, as if your lovely body knew nothing of the magic of sweet love power. The lips refuse words and greetings, the lips whose soft glow at many an hour happily rested on mine in a kiss of flames. You do not shyly lower your eyes when I accidentally approach you.

Your marble-pale face, it doesn't tremble, leads us on the same path, so far away today, when yesterday the day saw us full of bliss. But even if you were a stranger, you remain my own for all time. And may your heart completely forget what it did to mine. The shadow of old love follows you in new sunshine!

Your Wedding in Liechtenstein

There is room in the smallest cottage for a happy loving couple. But if you take a closer look, you will notice some costs. And the more love grows. The tighter the space, the more money you need, oh, you hardly believe it at first. In the field I creep quietly and wildly, cocked my fire-barrel. your dear picture, your sweet picture, hovers so brightly before me. You are now wandering quietly and gently through fields and dear valleys.

And alas, my rapidly fading picture, don't you even imagine it? The man who roams the world full of displeasure and annoyance, roams east and west because he has to let you. It's me, I only think of you than looking at the moon. A quiet peace comes over me, I don't know what's going to happen to me. Spring is serious, its dreams are sad.

Every flower looks moved by pain, secret melancholy trembles in the nightingale's noise. O don't smile, beloved beauty, so friendly and cheerful, don't smile! Oh, rather cry, I would love to kiss a tear from your face.
