AD FINEM by HEINRICH HEINE

First Line: THE YEARS THEY COME AND GO
Last Line: "LADY, I LOVE BUT THEE!"
Subject(s): DEATH; GRAVES; LOVE; DEAD, THE; TOMBS; TOMBSTONES;

THE years they come and go,
The races drop in the grave,
Yet never the love doth so
Which here in my heart I have.

Could I see thee but once, one day,
And sink down so on my knee,
And die in thy sight while I say,
"Lady, I love but thee!"
