If love’s a sweet passion, Act III - (The Fairy Queen, Z. 629) Dorothee Mields (Ft. Lautten Compagney Berlin & Wolfgang Katschner)
If loves' a sweet passion
Why does it torment?
If a bitter, oh tell me
Whence comes my content?
Since I suffer with pleasure
Why should I complain
Or grieve at my fate
When I know 'tis in vain?
Yet so pleasing the pains
So soft is the dart
That at once it both wounds me
And tickles my heart
I press her hand gently
Look languishing down
And by passionate silence
I make my love known
But oh! how I'm blest
When so kind she does prove
By some willing mistake
To discover her love
When in striving to hide
She reveals all her flame
And our eyes tell each other
What neither dares name
Why does it torment?
If a bitter, oh tell me
Whence comes my content?
Since I suffer with pleasure
Why should I complain
Or grieve at my fate
When I know 'tis in vain?
Yet so pleasing the pains
So soft is the dart
That at once it both wounds me
And tickles my heart
I press her hand gently
Look languishing down
And by passionate silence
I make my love known
But oh! how I'm blest
When so kind she does prove
By some willing mistake
To discover her love
When in striving to hide
She reveals all her flame
And our eyes tell each other
What neither dares name
