Kein Lieb ohn Leid sich findt by Johann Staden — Lyrics
1. Kein Lieb ohn Leid sich findt,
wie solches ich empfind,
jetzund der Zeit,
mit großer Traurigkeit
die Ursach ist bei mir,
dass ich mein höchste Zier
verlassen von mir weit.
2. Wie groß vorhin die Freud,
also ist jetzt das Leid,
wie groß der Scherz,
also ist jetzt der Schmerz.

About Kein Lieb ohn Leid sich findt
Johann Staden was a significant composer of the early German Baroque. This secular Lied for SATB voices, titled Kein Lieb ohn Leid sich findt, reflects the popular poetic theme of love and suffering. The German text expresses the composer's deep sorrow and loneliness since parting from his beloved. He contrasts his past joy with his present anguish, noting how a short time spent with her now feels like a year of misery. The lyrics convey a sense of unrest and a determination to travel to be reunited with his true love, his 'thousand joys'.
