Lost is my quiet
Language: English
Available translation(s): GER HEB
Lost is my quiet for ever,
Lost is life's happiest part;
Lost all my tender endeavours,
To touch an insensible heart.
But tho' my Despair is past curing,
And much undeserv'd is my fate,
I'll show by a patient enduring
My love is unmov'd as her hate.

Meine Ruhe ist für immer dahin
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the English
Meine Ruhe ist für immer dahin,
auf ewig verloren der glücklichste Teil des Lebens,
verloren all mein zärtliches Bemühen,
ein gleichgültiges Herz zu gewinnen.
Aber obwohl meine Verzweiflung unheilbar
und mein Schicksal unverdient ist,
Werde ich durch geduldiges Harren zeigen,
daß meine Liebe so unbeirrbar ist, wie ihr Haß.
