A BLESSING, by HEINRICH HEINE Poet's Biography First Line: When I look on thee and feel how dear Last Line: When I and my wild love are dead. | ||||||||
WHEN I look on thee and feel how dear, How pure, and how fair thou art, Into my eyes there steals a tear, And a shadow mingled of love and fear Creeps slowly over my heart. And my very hands feel as if they would lay Themselves on thy fair young head, And pray the good God to keep thee alway As good and lovely, as pure and gay, -- When I and my wild love are dead. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A PROLOGUE TO THE HARTZ-JOURNEY by HEINRICH HEINE ADAM THE FIRST by HEINRICH HEINE |
