LYRICAL INTERLUDE: 59, by HEINRICH HEINE Poet's Biography First Line: My carriage is traversing slowly Last Line: They titter and haste swiftly by. Subject(s): Dreams; Magic; Nightmares | ||||||||
MY carriage is traversing slowly The greenwood merry and bright, Through flowering valleys, like magic Illumed by the sun's glowing light. I'm sitting and thinking and dreaming, And muse on my mistress dear; When, nodding their heads at the window, Three shadowy figures appear. They skip and they make wry grimaces, So scoffing and yet so shy; And twirling mist-like together, They titter and haste swiftly by. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VARIATIONS: 14 by CONRAD AIKEN VARIATIONS: 18 by CONRAD AIKEN LIVE IT THROUGH by DAVID IGNATOW A DREAM OF GAMES by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN THE DREAM OF WAKING by RANDALL JARRELL APOLOGY FOR BAD DREAMS by ROBINSON JEFFERS GIVE YOUR WISH LIGHT by ROBINSON JEFFERS |
