Lyrics
Love We drink in love sweet poison but all is poison we drink from it and we pay for its brief happiness the unhappiness of many days The fire of love--is a life giving fire everyone says--but what do we see? destructive it lays waste the soul that embraces it. Who will sooth the memory of days of bliss and suffering of the wonderous days of your love? Would I then -- for happiness, for the golden flowering days of youth, -- Once again, for you, open my heart. (1824) (Translation by the composer)
