LYRICAL INTERLUDE: 54 by HEINRICH HEINE

First Line: WHEN TWO FOND LOVERS ARE PARTED
Last Line: TOO SURELY CAME BY-AND-BY.
Subject(s): LOVE - LOSS OF; TEARS;
WHEN two fond lovers are parted,
They give each other the hand,
To weep and to sigh beginning,
And losing all self-command.

But not one single tear wept we,
No Ah! or Alas! did we sigh;
Our tears and our sighs both together
Too surely came by-and-by.
