Farewell for Good Untouched My Solemn Angel

Farewell for good, untouched, my solemn angel

Disturb no peace, nor beg to be absolved

Just let my soul in grievance be involved

And let me go, untouched, my solemn angel

A glance by chance — so brief our random meeting

Rejecting chosen one, you want just to withdraw

Where shall I search, what trace, what silent law

Deceptive glance — as brief as random meeting

We're close — apart; this parting weighs much deeper

Than staying near and tasting lies once more

I'll let you go — just tell me what it's for

Why have we met? this parting weighs much deeper

No words of love, though I still seem to hear them

No words"forgive," but only my"farewell"

Do not take back what once within me fell

Your words of love, though I still seem to feel them
