Restless Love

Restless Love

THROUGH rain,through snow,

Through tempest go!

’Mongst streaming caves,

O’er misty waves,

On,on!still on!

Peace,rest have flown!

Sooner through sadness

I’d wish to be slain,

Than all the gladness

Of life to sustain

All the fond yearning

That heart feels for heart,

Only seems burning

To make them both smart.

How shall I fly?

Forestwards hie?

Vain were all strife!

Bright crown of life.

Turbulent[192]bliss，—

Love,thou art this!

1789.
