LYRICAL INTERLUDE: 47, by HEINRICH HEINE Poet's Biography First Line: Sweet love, in fond converse together Last Line: We mournfully floated along. Subject(s): Love; Night; Sea; Bedtime; Ocean | ||||||||
SWEET love, in fond converse together In the light canoe sat we, Still the night was, and calm was the weather, As we skimm'd o'er the wide-spreading sea. The fair spirit-islands before us In the glimmering moonlight lay; Sweet tones came-floating o'er us, While the mists were dancing in play. On danced they with merrier motion, And sweeter still sounded the song; But over the boundless ocean We mournfully floated along. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HALL OF OCEAN LIFE by JOHN HOLLANDER JULY FOURTH BY THE OCEAN by ROBINSON JEFFERS BOATS IN A FOG by ROBINSON JEFFERS CONTINENT'S END by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE FIGUREHEAD by LEONIE ADAMS |
