Acht Gedichte aus "Letzte Blätter" Eight Poems from "Letzte Blätter" Richard Strauss Text by Hermann von Gilm
Nichts Nothing I should name, you say, my queen in the realm of love? You are fools, for I know her less than you do.
Ask me about the color of her eyes; Ask me about the sound of her voice; Ask me about her gait and posture, and how she dances; Ah, what do I know about it?
Is not the sun the source of all life and all light? And about this, what do I and you and everyone know? Nothing.

Eight Poems from "Letzte Blätter"
Richard Strauss
Text by Hermann von Gilm
Nichts
Nothing
I should name, you say, my
queen in the realm of love?
You are fools, for I know
her less than you do.
Ask me about the color of her eyes;
Ask me about the sound of her voice;
Ask me about her gait and posture, and how she
dances;
Ah, what do I know about it?
Is not the sun the source
of all life and all light?
And about this, what do
I and you and everyone know? Nothing.
