NEW SPRING: 42 by HEINRICH HEINE

First Line: WITH SULLEN THOUGHTS IN CHILLY BOSOM CHERISHED
Last Line: THE WORST OF ALL COMES NEXT -- THE RAIN'S DESCENDING!
Subject(s): WINTER;

WITH sullen thoughts in chilly bosom cherish'd,
I travel sullen through the world so cold;
The autumn's end hath come, a humid mist doth hold
Deep veil'd from sight the country drear and perish'd.

The winds are piping, hither, thither bending
The red-tinged leaves, that from the trees fall fast,
The bare plain steams, the wood sighs 'neath the blast,
The worst of all comes next -- the rain's descending!
