After Love

There is no magic any more,

We meet as other people do,

You work no miracle for me

Nor I for you.

You were the wind and I the sea—

There is no splendor any more,

I have grown listless as the pool

Beside the shore.

But tho' the pool is safe from storm

And from the tide has found surcease,

It grows more bitter than the sea,

For all its peace.

German translationGerman (metered, rhyming)

Nach einer Liebe

Versions: #1#2

Dahin sind Reiz und Zauberbann,

wir schau'n uns an wie jedermann.

Du wirkst kein Wunder mehr in mir,

noch ich in dir.

Du warst der Wind und ich das Meer -

d i e Herrlichkeit uns nicht mehr bannt:

lieg' reglos wie ein Tümpel, der

auf Land am Strand.

Wenn diesen auch kein Sturm erreicht

und keine Ebbe, keine Flut,

wird er noch bittrer als das Meer,

wiewohl er ruht.

Thanks! ❤
