LYRICAL INTERLUDE: 5 by HEINRICH HEINE

First Line: THY FACE, SO LOVELY AND SERENE
Last Line: THAT FROM THINE EYES IS WONT TO POUR.
Subject(s): DEATH; EYES; FACES; GRIEF; DEAD, THE; SORROW; SADNESS;
THY face, so lovely and serene,
In vision I have lately seen;
So like an angel's 'tis, and meek,
Though bitter grief has blanch'd thy cheek.

Thy lips alone, they still are red;
Death soon will kiss them pale and dead;
The heavenly light will soon be o'er
That from thine eyes is wont to pour.
