DIE ROSE, DIE LILIE, DIE TAUBE, DIE SONNE by HEINRICH HEINE

First Line: THE ROSE AND THE LILY, THE MOON AND THE DOVE
Last Line: AND ROSE IS, AND LILY, AND MOON AND DOVE.
Subject(s): LOVE;

The rose and the lily, the moon and the dove,
Once loved I them all with a perfect love.
I love them no longer, I love alone
The Lovely, the Graceful, the Pure, the One
Who twines in one wreath all their beauty and love,
And rose is, and lily, and moon and dove.
