Werther is an opera (1892) in four acts by Jules Massenet (1842-1912) to a French libretto by Édouard Blau, Paul Milliet and Georges Hartmann based on the German novella The Sorrows of Young Werther by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
Although Massenet wrote and completed his opera already in 1887, it did not receive any performance until it premiered at the Imperial Theatre Hofoper in Vienna on February 16, 1892, receiving such success that the French premiere followed the next year at Opéra Comique.

CHARLOTTE (ne se contraignant plus) Va! laisse couler mes larmes (affectueusement) elles font du bien, ma chérie! Les larmes qu'on ne pleure pas, dans notre âme retombent toutes, et de leurs patientes gouttes Martèlent le coeur triste et las! Sa résistance enfin s'épuise; le coeur se creuse... et s'affaiblit: il est trop grand, rien ne l'emplit; et trop fragile, tout le brise! Tout le brise!
English Libretto or Translation:
CHARLOTTE (no longer binding) Go!let my tears flow (affectionately) they do good, darling! The tears we do not cry, in our souls all fall, and with their patient drops Hammer the sad and weary heart! His resistance is finally exhausted; the heart digs ... and weakens: it is too big, nothing fills it; and too fragile, all the breeze! All the breeze!
