Parting and separation
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
So now I must shun you, You, my heart's joy! You kiss me in parting, I press you to my breast! Ah, my love, is this called shunning, When one embraces and kisses the other? Ah, my love, is this called separation, When one clings so firmly?
