Yes, you know it, dearest soulmate,
Far from you, I have such anguish
Love has made my heart so faint,
Take my thanks.
Once held I, the freedom seeker,
High the amethystine beaker
And you blessed me as I drank
Take my thanks.
And converted all my spirits
Freed from what I was no longer
And so upon your heart I sank
Take my thanks.
Hermann von Gilm zu Rosenegg (1812 - 1864) Austria
