SONG: DU BIST WIE EINE BLUME by HEINRICH HEINE

First Line: FAIR ART THOU AS A FLOWER
Last Line: AS FAIR AND PURE AS NOW.
Subject(s): GOD; LOVE; METAPHOR; SIMILES;
Fair art thou as a flower
And innocent and shy:
I look on thee and sorrow;
I grieve, I know not why.

I long to lay, in blessing,
My hand upon thy brow,
And pray that God may keep thee
As fair and pure as now.
