Zwei Kammern Hat Das Herz

From the German of P. Neumann

μάλα γέ τοι τὸ μεγάλας ὑγεΐας ἀκόρεστον τέρμα, νόσος γὰρ ἀεὶ γείτων ὁμότοιχος ἐρείδει.

Æsch., Ag.

Two chambers hath the heart: There dwelling Live Joy and Pain apart.

Is Joy in one awake? Then only Doth Pain his slumber take.

Joy, in thine hour, refrain-- Speak softly, Lest thou awaken Pain.
