LOVE SONG by HEINRICH HEINE

First Line: THOU SPAK'ST AND GAV'ST A LOCK TO ME
Last Line: AND FULL THY LITTLE HEART?
Subject(s): LOVE;

THOU spak'st and gav'st a lock to me
Of thy dear silken hair;
"Wear this, and I for ever thee
"Within my heart will wear."

Full oft have heart and hair been call'd
To act this loving part.
Now say: is not thy head yet bald?
And full thy little heart?
