LYRICAL INTERLUDE: 23, by HEINRICH HEINE Poet's Biography First Line: O if the tiny flowers Last Line: Who thus hath wounded my heart. Subject(s): Flowers; Love - Complaints; Tears | ||||||||
OIF the tiny flowers But knew of my wounded heart, Their tears, like mine, in showers Would fall, to cure the smart. If knew the nightingales only That I'm so mournful and sad, They would cheer my misery lonely With their notes so tuneful and glad. If the golden stars high o'er us But knew of my bitter woe, They would speak words of comfort in chorus, Descending hither below. Not one of these can allay it, One only knows of my smart; 'Tis she, I grieve to say it, Who thus hath wounded my heart. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BANGLA DESH: 2.
