    Dann fließen die Tränen zusammen!
    Und an mein Herz drück fest dein Herz,
    Dann schlagen zusammen die Flammen!
    Und wenn in die große Flamme fließt
    Der Strom von unsern Tränen,
    Und wenn dich mein Arm gewaltsam umschließt,
    Sterb' ich vor Liebessehn!"

  2. The second poem begins with:
    "3. Du bist wie eine Blume"
    It continues with:
    "Du bist wie eine Blume
    So hold und schön und rein;
    Ich schau' dich an, und Wehmut

    So rein und schön und hold."

There are two song lyrics on the page:

  1. The first song starts with the lines:
    "Lehn deine Wange an meine Wange,
    Dann fließen die Tränen zusammen!
    Und an sein Herz drück fest dein Herz,

    Und wenn in die große Flamme fließt
    Der Strom von unsern Tränen,
    Und wenn dich mein Arm gewaltig umschließt,
    Sterb' ich vor Liebessehnen!"

    This can be translated roughly to:
    "Lean your cheek against my cheek,
    Then our tears flow together!
    And press your heart firmly against my heart,
    Then our flames beat together!
    And when the great flame flows
    The stream of our tears,
    And when my arm forcefully embraces you,
    I die of longing for love!"

  2. The second song is titled "Du bist wie eine Blume" and starts with the lines:
    "Du bist wie eine Blume
    So hold und schön und rein;
    Ich schau' dich an, und Wehmuth
    Schleicht mir ins Herz hinein.
    Mir ist, als ob ich die Hände
    Auf's Haupt dir legen sollt',
    Du bist so rein und schön und hold."

    This can be translated roughly to:
    "You are like a flower
    So tender and beautiful and pure;
    I look at you, and melancholy
    Creeps into my heart.
    It feels as if I should lay my hands
    On your head,
    You are so pure and beautiful and tender."

The page appears to be part of a collection of poetic or lyrical works from the mentioned Summer School event in 1967.
