If thou art still so, all life is one feast. Loved one, without thee, what then would all feasts be? Sweet one, without thee, what then were the dance? 37 Goethe THE INDIFFERENT. Self-Deceit. Let them but love, then, and leave us the dancing! My neighbour’s curtain, well I see, Languishing love cannot bear the glad dance. Let us whirl round in the waltz’s gay measure, Is moving to and fin. No doubt she’s list’ning eagerly, And let them steal to the dim-lighted wood. Let them but love, then, and leave us the dancing!

If I’m at home or no. And if the jealous grudge I bore Languishing love cannot bear the glad dance. And openly confess’d, Is nourish’d by me as before, THE TENDER. Let them whirl round, then, and leave us to wander! Within my inmost breast. Wand’ring to love is a heavenly dance. Cupid, the near one, o’erhears their deriding, Alas!
