Without love

Without love

No sun rules the heavens,

No breeze blows, no forest tremors

For joy�

Without love there exists

Neither beauty,

Nor immortality, which exists

Only with love.

But quite another love

Is last love.

Like the flowers of autumn it often

Outdoes first love.

It arouses no stormy, rough and

Aimless passions.

No youthful lusts or savage voiced

Does it arouse�

Growing in the open air

In autumnal cold,

It is unlike the tender

Flowers of spring�

It relishes not gentle breezes,

But the storm wind.

Not passions, but voiceless caresses

Encircle it.

And love fades, fades away if

It is last love,

Fades sadly, tenderly and yet

Without joy.

For nowhere on earth is there

Immortality,

And immortality cannot exist

Without love!
