Though still in bed,
my thoughts go out to you,
my Immortal Beloved,
now and then joyfully, then sadly,
waiting to learn whether or not fate will hear us -
I can live only wholly with you or not at all - Yes, I am resolved to wander so long away from you
until I can fly to your arms and say
that I am really at home with you,
and can send my soul enwrapped in you into the land of spirits -
Yes, unhappily it must be so -
You will be the more contained since you know my fidelity to you.
No one else can ever possess my heart -
never - never -
Oh God, why must one be parted from one whom one so loves.
And yet my life in V is now a wretched life - Your love makes me at once the happiest and the unhappiest of men -
At my age I need a steady, quiet life -
can that be so in our connection?
My angel, I have just been told that the mailcoach goes every day
- therefore I must close at once
so that you may receive the letter at once
- Be calm, only by a calm consideration of our existence
can we achieve our purpose to live together
- Be calm - love me - today - yesterday -
what tearful longings for you -
you - you - my life - my all - farewell.
Oh continue to love me -
never misjudge the most faithful heart of your beloved.
ever thine
ever mine
ever ours
