Keine Wegspur, nichts zu sehen - Kante

My love is as a fever, longing still

For that which longer nurses the disease

Feeding on that which does preserve the ill

Uncertain sickly appetite to please

My reason, the physician to my love

Angry that his prescriptions are not kept

Has left me, and I desperate now approve

Desire is death, which physic did except

Past cure I am, now reason is past care

And frantic-mad with evermore unrest

My thoughts and my discours as madmen’s are

At random from the truth vainly xpressed

For I have sworn thee fair, and thought thee bright

Who art as black as hell, as dark as night

For I have sworn thee fair, and thought thee bright

Who art as black as hell, as dark as night
