Bettine
Brentano
to
Goethe
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.
