THROUGH THE DARKNESS by HEINRICH HEINE

First Line: WE TRAVELLED ALONE IN THE DARKNESS
Last Line: A PASSENGER BLIND WAS HE.
WE travelled alone in the darkness,
Posted the whole night through;
On each other's hearts we rested;
We laughed and jested, too.

But with the dawn of the morning,
My Child, how astonished were we;
For between us Love was sitting,
A passenger blind was he.
