Frozen drops are falling
Down from my cheeks.
How could I have not noticed
That I have been weeping?
Ah tears, my tears,
And are you so tepid
That you freeze to ice
Like cool morning dew?
Yet you burst from the wellspring
Of my heart so burning hot,
As if you wanted to melt
The entire winter?s ice!
Winterreise by Wilhelm Muller music by Franz Schubert Op. 89
