LYRICAL INTERLUDE: 26, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: The linden blossom'd, the nightingale sung
Last Line: Thou politely didst make me a curtsey polite.
Subject(s): Farewell; Parting


THE linden blossom'd, the nightingale sung,
The sun was laughing with radiance bright;
Thou kissed'st me then, while thine arm round me clung.
To thy heaving bosom thou pressed'st me tight.

The raven was screeching, the leaves fast fell,
The sun gazed cheerlessly down on the sight;
We coldly said to each other "Farewell!"
Thou politely didst make me a curtsey polite.
