LYRICAL INTERLUDE: 21 by HEINRICH HEINE

First Line: THE FLUTES AND FIDDLES ARE SOUNDING
Last Line: AND WEEPING MANY A TEAR.
Subject(s): MARRIAGE; WEDDINGS; HUSBANDS; WIVES;
THE flutes and fiddles are sounding,
The trumpets ringing clear;
In the wedding dance is bounding
My heart's own mistress dear.

The shawms and kettle-drums vying
In noisy chorus I hear;
But meanwhile good angels are sighing
And weeping many a tear.
