I am too in love to live,
I've too much heart to give,
Goodbye Lotte, please forgive
me, this heart's a sieve.
I hope you won't think me pert
Loving your dear wife, Albert.
It was foolish of me to flirt
with fate: which now, I desert!
Dear Wilhelm, dearest mother
I hope I haven't been a bother.
Real life has been a smother,
But I assure, we loved each other!
