Die Verbannten Kinder Evas
Shall I Strive?
Shall I strive with words to moveWhen deeds receive not due regard?Shall I speak and neither pleaseNor be freely heard?Grief, alas, though all in vain,Her restless anguish must reveal.She alone my wound shall knowThough she will not heal.All woes have end though awhile delayed,Our patience proving.Oh that Time's strange effectsCould but make her loving.Storms calm at last, and why may notShe leave off her frowning?Oh sweet Love, help her hands,My affecting crowning.
