NEW SPRING: 15 by HEINRICH HEINE

First Line: THE SLENDER WATER-LILY
Last Line: LYING BEFORE HER FEET.
Subject(s): FLOWERS; LILIES;

THE slender water-lily
Peeps dreamingly out of the lake;
The moon, oppress'd with love's sorrow,
Looks tenderly down for her sake.

With blushes she bends to the water
Once more her head so sweet --
Then sees she the poor pale fellow
Lying before her feet.
