LYRICAL INTERLUDE: 49 by HEINRICH HEINE

First Line: I'VE LOVED THEE LONG, AND I LOVE THEE STILL
Last Line: MY LOVE-PANGS FIERCE AND UNBOUNDED.
Subject(s): LOVE;
I'VE loved thee long, and I love thee still
And e'en if the world were shatter'd,
My glowing love would glisten and thrill,
Though widely earth's ruins were scatter'd.
* * * * * *

And when I thus have loved thee so well
Till the hour of death has sounded,
I'll take with me e'en to my tomb's dark cell
My love-pangs fierce and unbounded.
