you know my heart; you know that all there is desire, thought, boding and longing; you live among spirits and they give you divine wisdom. you must nourish me; you give all that in advance, which i do not understand to ask for. my mind has a small embrace, my love a large one; you must bring them to a balance. love cannot be quiet till the mind matches its growth; you are matched to my love; you are friendly, kind, and indulgent; let me know when my heart is off the balance. i understand your silent signs.
a look from your eyes into mine, a kiss from you upon my lips, instructs me in all, what might seem delighted to learn, - to one who, like me, had experience from those. i am far from you; mine are become strange to me. i must ever return in thought to that hour when you hold me in the soft fold of your arm. then i begin to weep, but the tears dry again unawares. yes, he reaches with his love (thus i think) over to me in this concealed stillness; and should not i, with my eternal undisturbed loving, reach to him in the distance? ah, conceive what my heart has to say to you; it overflows with soft sighs all whisper to you. be my only happiness on earth your friendly will to me. o, dear friend, give me but a sign that you are conscious of me.[中文譯文]
貝停·布倫塔諾致歌德
你知道我的心；你知道我心里惟有的愿望、思念、預兆和渴求；你生活在幽靈之中，他們給你以神靈的智慧。你一定要給我以"營養"。你已經事先就給了我那些我不懂得去要求的東西。雖說我的才智小，但我的愛情甚深；你一定要平衡這兩方面。在理智跟不上愛情的發展時，愛不能平靜。你知道我有多愛你；你友善、溫存、寬厚。告訴我，什么時候我的心失去了平衡。我懂得你那無聲的暗示。
你映人我眼簾的凝睇、你印在我唇上的熱吻，向我說明了一切。這一切對于像我這樣的人，對于有過這方面感情經歷的人，看來似乎令人高興。你我天各一方，我給你的凝望和親吻對我已日益陌生。我無法不回想在你懷抱中的溫柔時刻。然后我便開始哭泣，又不知不覺眼淚已哭干。是的，在深藏的靜謐中他對我一往情深(我如是想)。難道我就不應該借著永不動搖的深情遙通心聲嗎?啊，你不知道我一心要對你說些什么嗎?我要對你無限地輕聲嘆息，竊竊私語，讓感情沛溢。愿我今生今世唯一的幸福就是你對我的無限的柔情。啊，親愛的朋友，只求你給我暗示，你心中只有我。
