SPRING, by HEINRICH HEINE Poet's Biography First Line: The waters glisten and merrily glide Last Line: How lovely is love midst spring's splendour! Subject(s): Love; Nature; Spring | ||||||||
THE waters glisten and merrily glide, -- How lovely is love midst spring's splendour! The shepherdess sits by the streamlet's side, And twines her garlands so tender. All nature is budding with fragrant perfume, How lovely is love midst spring's splendour! The shepherdess sighs from her heart: "O to whom "Shall I my garlands surrender?" A horseman is riding beside the clear brook, A kindly greeting he utters; The shepherdess views him with sorrowful look, The plume in his hat gaily flutters. She weeps and into the gliding waves flings Her flowery garlands so tender; Of kisses and love the nightingale sings -- How lovely is love midst spring's splendour! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SPRING LEMONADE by TONY HOAGLAND A SPRING SONG by LYMAN WHITNEY ALLEN SPRING'S RETURN by GEORGE LAWRENCE ANDREWS ODE TO SPRING by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD ODE TO SPRING by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD SPRING FLOODS by MAURICE BARING SPRING IN WINTER by CHARLOTTE FISKE BATES SPRING ON THE PRAIRIE by HERBERT BATES THE FARMER'S BOY: SPRING by ROBERT BLOOMFIELD |
