In what language can I speak, to make you understand just how deeply I love you— this me loving you! With what melody, what refrain can I tell you how much I seek you out in playful quarrels and teasing! In what web of enchantment do I wrap you close, how fiercely do I hold you safe within my arms! In what trick of the eye do I lose you, how do I turn my gaze away from the borders of those two eyes! Like some fierce sudden storm wind swooping down, in that wild trance, losing all fear, I reach to touch you today, driven by a mad hope to have you, to hold you,... How can I truly make you understand—just how tightly I bind you in my heart!
Mad Hope
