LYRICAL INTERLUDE: 66 by HEINRICH HEINE

First Line: THE MIDNIGHT WAS COLD, IN PLAINTIVE MOOD
Last Line: THEY SHOOK THEIR HEADS WITH PITY DEEP.
Subject(s): FORESTS; NIGHT; SLEEP; WOODS; BEDTIME;
THE midnight was cold, in plaintive mood
I wander'd mournfully through the wood;
I shook the trees from out of their sleep,
They shook their heads with pity deep.
