NEW SPRING: 16 by HEINRICH HEINE

First Line: IF THOU HAST GOOD EYES, AND LOOK'ST
Last Line: THOU WILT TREAD THE FOREST MAZY.
Subject(s): HEARTS; SINGING & SINGERS; VOICES; SONGS;

IF thou hast good eyes, and look'st
In my songs, when thou hast tried them,
Thou wilt see a fair young maiden
Wandering up and down inside them.

If thou hast good ears as well,
Thou canst hear her voice quite clearly,
And her sighing, laughing, singing
Thy poor heart will madden nearly.

For she will, with look and word,
Thee, like me, make wellnigh crazy:
An enamour'd springtime-dreamer
Thou wilt tread the forest mazy.
