We all deal with grief, stress, pain, etc in different ways. Many times, we put on a mask of strength to bear the pain, all the while suffering in what seems like unending and deafening silence. And sometimes, we simply slip away to another world to heal and find peace.

lyrics

Es gibt geheime Schmerzen, / There are secret pains
Sie klaget nie der Mund, / Whose lament is never tongued;
Getragen tief im Herzen / Borne deep in the heart
Sind sie der Welt nicht kund. / They are unknown to the world.
Es gibt ein heimlich Sehnen, / There is a secret longing
Das scheuet stets das Licht, / That always shies from the light;
Es gibt verborgne Tränen, / There are hidden tears
Der Fremde sieht sie nicht. / A stranger does not see.
Es gibt ein still Versinken / There is a quiet sinking
In eine innre Welt, / Into an inner world
Wo Friedensauen winken, / Where peaceful meadows beckon,
Von Sternenglanz erhellt, / Lit by the gleam of stars,
Wo auf gefallnen Schranken / Where, all boundaries fallen,
Die Seele Himmel baut, / The soul raises Heaven
Und jubelnd den Gedanken / And with jubilation
Den Lippen anvertraut. / Confides its thoughts to the lips.

Es gibt ein still Vergehen / There is a quiet passing
In stummen, öden Schmerz, / Into silent, desolate pain,
Und Niemand darf es sehen, / And no one is allowed to see
Das schwergepreßte Herz. / That heavy-pressed heart.
Es sagt nicht was ihm fehlet, / It does not say what it needs,
Und wenn's im Grame bricht, / And though it breaks with grief,
Verblutend und zerquälet, / Tortured to death and bleeding,
Der Fremde sieht sie nicht. / The stranger does not see it.
Es gibt einen sanften Schlummer, / There is a gentle slumber
Wo süßer Frieden weilt, / Where sweet peace abides,
Wo stille Ruh' den Kummer / Where quiet rest heals the cares
Der müden Seele heilt. / Of the weary soul.
Doch gibt's ein schöner Hoffen, / There is yet a lovely hoping
Das Welten überfliegt, / That soars above all worlds,
Da wo am Herzen offen / Where, open to another heart,
Das Herz voll Liebe liegt. / The heart lies filled with love.
