LYRICAL INTERLUDE: 48, by HEINRICH HEINE Poet's Biography First Line: From older legends springing Last Line: Dissolves, when morning beams. Subject(s): Flowers; Legends; Love; Singing & Singers; Songs | ||||||||
FROM older legends springing, Appears a snow-white band With joyous strains, and singing, From some far magic-land, Where flowers in glowing splendour Pine in the evening sun, And bridal glances tender Cast sweetly every one; Where all the trees, uniting In chorus, shout below, And bubbling brooks delighting The ear, like music flow; And love-songs fierce and burning Unheard of bliss impart, Till sweet and wondrous yearning Befools the throbbing heart. Ah, could I thither travel, And ease my aching breast, And all my grief unravel, And there be free and blest! That land, whence care and trouble Are banish'd, that in dreams Oft see I, like a bubble Dissolves, when morning beams. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE APOLLO TRIO by CONRAD AIKEN BAD GIRL SINGING by MARK JARMAN CHAMBER MUSIC: 4 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 5 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 28 by JAMES JOYCE THE SONG OF THE NIGHTINGALE IS LIKE THE SCENT OF SYRINGA by MINA LOY |
