any good?

BTW, in moderm German it reads: "Himmelhoch jauchzend, ZU Tode betrübt" . . .

TRANSLATED BY ANNA SWANWICK

Clara (sings). Blissful
And tearful,
With thought-teeming brain;
Hoping And fearing
In passionate pain;
Now shouting in triumph,
Now sunk in despair;—
With love’s thrilling rapture
What joy can compare!

hmmm

me

full of joy and sorrow, pensive I am
longing and trembling in pending anguish
both cheering sky-high, and agrieved to death
contented is only the soul who loves

I have given this a go, trying to keep to the number of syllables (10), but being unable to make it scan the same as
--´ --´ --´ ´
oh those anapests!

How poetic, manja! (but psst! - take: 'aggrieved') . . .

thanks (and thanks for the missing G)

The 'Female' can easily fall prey to volatile emotions, and her repertoire of these is quite vast! As the Germans sometimes say, Himmelhoch jauchzend, zum Tode betrübt (Up one moment, down the next.)

A rather jaded rendition.
